PollLCA

Characterization of insect pollinator impacts is missing in the life cycle impact assessment framework. The objective of the Project is to develop and disseminate a conceptual framework and operational model for a pollinator module to be used in a life cycle assessment (LCA) framework (quantification of field exposure and ecotoxicity effects of honeybees caused by pesticide use, by means of characterization factors) to enable comparing pesticide uses and screening pesticide-crop scenarios in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA).
