Abstract
The specific impact caused by nanoparticles can be assessed by life cycle assessment analysis. Performing life cycle analysis and potential risk management of nanoscale materials are increasing to perform better products and further technology developments. This chapter describes methods for research developed and applied life cycle assessment (LCA) models to evaluate ENMs and nano-enabled product.
