3.2. Normalized LCIA midpoint results
Fig. 1 presents the normalized midpoint results obtained from the ReCiPe method. The impact observed from the human toxicity, marine ecotoxicity, and metal depletion categories plays dominant contribution to the overall environmental burden. The impact observed from the fossil depletion, climate change, particulate matter formation, and terrestrial acidification categories has relative insignificant contribution. The impact observed from the rest of the categories is negligible.
