    • Freshwater ecotoxicity assessment of pesticide use in crop production: Testing the influence of modeling choices 

      Peña, Nancy; Knudsen, Marie T.; Fantke, Peter; Antón, Assumpció; Hermansen, John E. (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018-10-28) Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Pesticides help to control weeds, pests, and diseases contributing, therefore, to food availability. However, pesticide fractions not reaching the intended target may have adverse effects on the environment ...
    • Global guidance on environmental life cycle impact assessment indicators: impacts of climate change, fine particulate matter formation, water consumption and land use 

      Jolliet, Olivier; Antón, Assumpció; Boulay, Anne-Marie; Cherubini, Francesco; Fantke, Peter; Levasseur, Annie; McKone, Thomas E.; Michelsen, Ottar; Milà i Canals, Llorenç; Motoshita, Masaharu; Pfister, Stephan; Verones, Francesca; Vigon, Bruce; Frischknecht, Rolf (International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2018-03-16) Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Purpose Guidance is needed on best-suited indicators to quantify and monitor the man-made impacts on human health, biodiversity and resources. Therefore, the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative initiated ...

      Verones, Francesca; Hellweg, Stefanie; Antón, Assumpció; Azevedo, Ligia B.; Chaudhary, Abhishek; Cosme, Nuno; Cucurachi, Stefano; de Baan, Laura; Dong, Yan; Fantke, Peter; Golsteijn, Laura; Hauschild, Michael; Heijungs, Reinout; Jolliet, Olivier; Juraske, Ronnie; Larsen, Henrik; Laurent, Alexis; Mute, Christopher L.; Margni, Manuele; Núñez, Montserrat; Owsianiak, Mikolaj; Pfister, Stephan; Ponsioen, Tommie; Preiss, Philipp; Rosenbaum, Ralph K.; Roy, Pierre-Olivier; Sala, Serenella; Steinmann, Zoran; van Zelm, Rosalie; Van Dingenen, Rita; Vieira, Marisa; Huijbregts, Mark A. J. (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2020-05-31) Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is a lively field of research, and data and models are continuously improved in terms of impact pathways covered, reliability, and spatial detail. However, many of ...
    • Modeling ecotoxicity impacts in vineyard production: Addressing spatial differentiation for copper fungicides 

      Peña, Nancy; Antón, Assumpció; Kamilaris, Andreas; Fantke, Peter (Science of the Total Environment, 2017-10-28) Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Application of plant protection products (PPP) is a fundamental practice for viticulture. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has proved to be a useful tool to assess the environmental performance of agricultural ...
    • Operationalising emission and toxicity modelling of pesticides in LCA: the OLCA-Pest project contribution 

      Nemecek, Thomas; Antón, Assumpció; Basset-Mens, Claudine; Gentil-Sergent, Céline; Renaud-Gentié, Christel; Melero, Carlos; Naviaux, Pierre; Peña, Nancy; Roux, Philippe; Fantke, Peter (International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (Int J LCA), 2022-04-14) Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Purpose Current field emission modelling and toxicity characterisation of pesticides suffer from several shortcomings like mismatches between LCI databases and LCIA methods, missing characterisation ...
