Impact Categories Contributing to Human Health

This lecture discusses impact categories contributing to human health in the context of life cycle assessment, covering topics such as climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, fine particle formation, photochemical ozone formation, ionizing radiation, human toxicity, ecotoxicity, acidification, eutrophication, land use, water use, resource use, marine use, and noise. It also explores the environmental problems associated with each impact category, such as greenhouse gas emissions, ozone layer depletion, and toxic substance exposure, emphasizing the importance of assessing these impacts for human health and ecosystem quality.
