Life Cycle Analysis in Wastewater: A Sustainability Perspective

摘要: The use of wastewater as a source water is emerging one the most sustainable alternative in view global scarcity. A variety risks and threats are impeded wastewater, especially those related to public health environment. Environmental management tools have been developed used industry including production potable or for treatment with prime objective maintaining sustainability curbing any hazardous impact that might affect consumers alleviating environment burden involved this industry. In addition, set indicators were help gauging issues assessment (EIA) risk (RA) among early environmental employed wide implementation facilities technologies. Despite numerous advantages EIA RA added concept human safety, some shortcomings also apparent needed an additional tool overcome such gaps. Life cycle analysis, ISO guided step wise process, considered holistic would encounter all upstream downstream impacts It offers prospects mapping energy material flows well resources total system. On other side, LCA tend require copious sets information data can limit its developing countries where shortage prevails. present part focused on highlighting main features industry, along applied promoting sustainability. delineate life analysis comprehensive guidelines towards ultimate goal achieving
