The purpose of the workshop was to determine whether existing LCA tools and methods are
adequate to use on a new technology. This document provides an overview of LCA and nanotechnology, discusses the current state of the art, identifies current knowledge gaps that may prevent the proper application of LCA in this field and makes recommendations on the application of LCA for assessing the potential environmental impacts of nanotechnology,
nanomaterials, and nanoproducts. For the purposes of this report, “nanoproducts†are defined
as products containing nanomaterials. The covered topic ï€ There is no generic LCA of nanomaterials, just as there is no generic LCA of chemicals. While LCA brings major benefits and useful information, there are certain limits to its application and use, in particular with respect to the assessment of toxicity impacts and of
large-scale impacts.
