Abstract
The document focuses on the inventory analysis component of life-cycle assessment (LCA). Inventory analysis is the identification and quantification of raw materials and energy inputs, air emissions, water effluents, solid waste, and other life-cycle inputs and outputs. Chapter 1 introduces the topic. Chapter 2 identifies key issues that make life-cycle inventory (LCI) unique, reviews data sources and data types used in LCI, and discusses potential problems with data quality. Chapter 3 provides a detailed discussion of the steps involved in building the LCI and discusses where and how data quality can be evaluated. Chapter 4 explains the concepts behind sensitivity and uncertainty analysis methodologies and their applicability to LCI data. Chapter 5 discusses some alternatives for handling missing or deficient data and summarizes existing data compensation techniques. Appendices include data quality indicators and a bibliography.
