Abstract
This chapter deals with the application of the MC technique, of stochastic nature, in the description of negative effects of waste produced by AMPSAK facilities on the environment. The ecological life cycle assessment of waste management from an annual perspective has been conducted on the basis of the computer-assisted LCA method. The LCA analysis has been performed for the purposes of the postdoctoral thesis by the Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), in Kraków (Ocena 2009). The analysis has been compiled by using the generated waste’s balance. The findings are expressed in the form of: characterisation, normalisation, and measurement stage results. The analysis has been conducted, similarly to what is described in Chap. 4, in accordance with PN-EN ISO 14040:2006 and PN-EN ISO 14044:2006 series.
