Using standard values for pig weight and total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) content in the waste when these quantities were unspecified, experimental ammonia emissions were compared on a per cent loss (of excreted TKN) basis. Correction factors were determined for measurements made during specific parts of the year, with corresponding differences in temperature, or time of day, and adjustments were made to put emission data on an annual average basis, when applicable. When corrected in this way, measurements made in the United States and in Europe were 22% and 21%, respectively. The standard deviation and standard error of the mean were 9% and 1.8%, respectively. The 95% confidence interval of the mean was 17.6–24.9%. The proposed emission factor data are reasonably consistent and emission factors higher or lower must be critically compared to the existing experimental base.}, number={3}, journal={BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING}, author={Griffing, E.

A multidisciplinary group representing industry, academia, and government discussed issues related to design, supply chain issues, process technologies, decision-making and education in a one and a half day workshop. Plenary speakers from the US, Europe and Japan gave overviews of the higher level linkages and complexities in the area of environmentally benign manufacturing. Some of the overarching findings included the need for better assessment methods and tools, better knowledge about the true cost of resources, continuous effort in developing new process technologies. Increased active understanding of not only multidisciplinary, but also international research efforts was deemed as a fundamental necessity in the area of EBM.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION}, author={Bras, B and Isaacs, JA and Overcash, M}, year={2006}, pages={527–535} }

On the other hand, there is a growing interest to give a greater weight to environmental factors as an integral part of the decision-making process at the Research and Development (R&D) stages of design for drug manufacturing. Therefore, there is a need to assess the energy usage throughout the development stage, to be able to quantify the changes in the development phases and evaluate the total environmental benefits due to energy optimization. In the present work, energy life cycle information is developed to provide environmental input into process selection and development within the pharmaceutical industry. The evaluation and comparison of energy requirements and energy-related emissions at various stages of the development process for a pharmaceutical product was conducted. It was found that the main optimization in energy usage for this specific system takes place during the pilot scale stage in the process developments (about 70% energy reduction). The reductions in energy usage are translated in even higher reduction of total energy-related emissions (for the full-scale processes, around 80%). It could be clearly seen that energy optimization in the early stages of process design translates into a lower level of emissions related to the use of energy.}, number={11}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Jimenez-Gonzalez, C and Overcash, MR}, year={2000}, month={Nov}, pages={983–990} }

Assessing the variability and reliability of the life cycle inventory (LCI) data for the refinery process is an important issue for the acceptance of life cycle studies. The purpose of this research is to review and compare the LCI results for refinery products among several available databases, evaluating the level of variability and technical consistency among data sets. Another objective is to highlight the need for greater transparency and standardization in LCI databases. We found important links between the type or media of emissions and the unit processes found in typical refineries. The variability of estimated emissions to the atmosphere is approximately 50−150%, while variability in aqueous discharges is higher, approaching 1000%. Variability for solid emissions is on the order of 30%. This variability is believed to be related to the preparation and summary use of individual practitioner data...}, number={22}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY}, author={Jimenez-Gonzalez, C and Overcash, M}, year={2000}, month={Nov}, pages={4789–4796} }
