9873582 Lave The objective of this research is to develop quantitative measures of the environmental impacts of selected service sector industries: trucking and courier services, wholesale and retail trade, hotels and other lodging places and educational services. The existing economic input-output life-cycle assessment (EIO-LCA) approach will be employed to identify and quantify the environmental implications of these industries throughout the lifetime of their products and services, as well as to identify and quantify the direct and indirect economic, environmental and sustainablility implications of these industries. The material and energy inputs (nonrenewable and renewable resources) will be assessed, as well as the emissions and waste (toxic discharges, hazardous waste generation, criteria pollutant emissions, greenhouse gas discharges and ozone-depleting chemical releases) associated with the service economy. Opportunities for environmental improvements of service sector outputs will be evaluated with the objective of providing metrics and analysis tools that can help define industrial ecology in the service sectors. This grant is made pursuant to the joint NSF/Lucent Technologies Industrial Ecology Research Fellowships Program 1998.***

9873582 Lave本研究的目的是开发选定的服务行业的环境影响的定量措施：货运和快递服务，批发和零售贸易，酒店和其他住宿场所和教育服务。 现行的经济投入产出生命周期评估方法将用于确定和量化这些行业在其产品和服务的整个生命周期中对环境的影响，以及确定和量化这些行业对经济、环境和可持续发展的直接和间接影响。 将评估材料和能源投入（不可再生和可再生资源）以及与服务经济相关的排放和废物（有毒物质排放、危险废物产生、标准污染物排放、温室气体排放和消耗臭氧层化学品排放）。 将评价服务部门产出的环境改善机会，目的是提供衡量标准和分析工具，帮助界定服务部门的工业生态。该补助金是根据1998年NSF/朗讯科技工业生态学研究奖学金计划联合颁发的。
