The present proposal aims at characterising the human toxicity effects of aluminium-based products in order to improve the reliability of their life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). The present-project aims to develop a detailed case study, applying present LCIA methods to an Aluminium-based product and identifying LCIA weaknesses that need further improvement. It will subsequently propose a framework and the required steps for methods improvement.
