Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for Industrial Processes and Products

"The Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for Industrial Processes and Products book is an excellent contribution to the field of life cycle and risk assessment for the industrial process and product applications. The book speaks to the what, why and how to apply and integrate life cycle and risk assessment. I would highly recommend the book to technical and engineering schools, professors, courses, and students who are looking to embed sustainability attributes into product and industrial process design and improvement."
