About this Resource:

This study used life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) approaches to assess cost, human health, and ecosystem metrics associated with nine distinct wastewater treatment configurations designed to reduce the nutrient content of effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
