| Abstract | Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an effective tool for evaluating the potential environmental impact associated with all stages of a product's life cycle. Currently, a number of Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) methodologies have been developed. These methods are based on an ad hoc approach adopted by different countries and regional conditions, which make the results difficult to compare. In Thailand, the methodological choices and framework to assess environmental impacts in LCA are still under development. Because the actual amount of environmental damage differs depending on environmental variables such as climate and population density, there is a need to develop the LCIA method for use in Thailand. The aim of this research is therefore to develop LCIA method that is suitable for Thailand, within the context of global warming. The results show that the midpoint approach have been similar with any LCIA method, while the endpoint approach considered two factors are for the world and in Thailand. Based on endpoint approach, the net primary productivity (NPP) damage factor the World and Thailand from all 63 greenhouse gas emissions are 8.78 x 105 and 2.72 x 10-2 kg/kg, respectively. Further development will be developed other the effects of global warming on human health and social assets with the sensitivity analysis and other impact categories which the important environmental problems in Thailand. |
