USEtox: The UNEP-SETAC consensus model for life-cycle impacts on human health and ecosystems

open access: yes, 2007
Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) characterizes emissions for the life-cycle assessment (LCA) of a product by translating these emissions into their potential impacts on human health, ecosystems, global climate and other resources.

AI in chemical engineering: From promise to practice

open access: yesAIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical engineering has moved from promise to practice: physics‐aware (gray‐box) models are gaining traction, reinforcement learning complements model predictive control (MPC), and generative AI powers documentation, digitization, and safety workflows.

The Fragmented Landscape of Shrimp Life Cycle Assessments: Uncovering Methodological Dependence and Analytical Blind Spots

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
Reported environmental impacts of shrimp aquaculture from life cycle assessments (LCAs) vary by over fiftyfold. These discrepancies stem from methodological inconsistencies, which often outweigh actual differences in farming practices. Furthermore, areas of environmental concern including land use change, biodiversity, and toxicity impacts are excluded

The critical parameters of the human health impact calculation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
There are many LCA methods and models (e.g. CML 1992, Eco-Indicator 95, IMPACT 2002+, TRACI, USEtox, etc.), used to characterize environmental impacts. Only four LCIA methods include spatial dimension at different geographical levels: Impact World+, LC ...

Sustainability assessment of denim fabric made of PET fiber and recycled fiber from postconsumer PET bottles using LCA and LCC approach with the EDAS method

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 2347-2365, November 2024.
Abstract The textile industry is under pressure to adopt sustainable production methods because its contribution to global warming is expected to rise by 50% by 2030. One solution is to increase the use of recycled raw material. The use of recycled raw material must be considered holistically, including its environmental and economic impacts.
