Annotation:
The aim of the dissertation is to create and test an integrated environmental impact assessment and life-cycle assessment model for environmental impact assessment of planned industrial activity. Research object is – environmental impact of the manufacturing industry. The created integrated model extends the assessment limits by including such aspects as environmental impact of the raw material production used during activity or assessment of seemingly secondary, but related and also important impacts. The developed model allows for performing both the quantitative assessment of environmental impact of the planned industrial activity and planning the activity with the least negative environmental impact. Dissertation consists of introduction, five main chapters, conclusions and recommendations, references and supplementary material. Dissertation text covers 131 pages (without Appendixes); text illustrated by 45 Figures and 18 Tables.
