Impact Assessment Methods On Demand

This course delves into the science behind the evaluation of the effect of emissions on the environment. We will demystify how impact assessment methods are modeled and the calculations are made.

This course provides an overview of commonly used and accepted impact assessment methods, including background on how these methods model the fate, transport & exposure pathways (causality chain) of emissions, allowing you to understand each impact category and why your results change when you use different impact assessment methods. This course will point out the strengths and weaknesses of the major internationally accepted impact assessment methods, thus allowing you to choose the best method for your LCA study. Your instructor will use visual slides to show you the structure of impact assessment and how various impact categories are assessed. The instructor will also use the SimaPro software to help you understand how the methods calculate the environmental impacts.
