The text profits from two years of interdisciplinary, coordinated research activities of the Priority Programme Environment of the Swiss National Science Foundation. \u003cbr\u003e How should system boundaries of a product life cycle be drawn? -\u003cbr\u003e How can environmental interventions be allocated to products? -\u003cbr\u003e How are background inventory data collected and used? -\u003cbr\u003e How can imprecision in the LCA method be ascertained and checked? -\u003cbr\u003e How can relevant environmental interventions be distinguished from irrelevant ones? -\u003cbr\u003e What requirements should a software tool for LCA meet?  A concept of site-specific LCA is proposed in response to criticism of the current approach of LCA. Furthermore, managerial eco-controlling - the emerging method of site-specific environmental management - is discussed. The book concludes with an outlook of possible paths in the future development of LCA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S.
