<abstract>Modern technology, together with an advanced economy, can provide a good or service in myriad ways, giving us choices on what to produce and how to produce it. To make those choices more intelligently, society needs to know not only the market price of each alternative, but the associated health and environmental consequences. A fair comparison requires evaluating the consequences across the whole "life cycle" of each alternative. Life cycle assessment (LCA) provides an overall framework for identifying and evaluating the risks. The article explains the methods for LCA, especially in characterizing, qualitative and quantitative, environmental discharges</abstract>
