The notion of Environment is vague. The goal of Life Cycle Assessment is not to cover the entire environmental issue : only what is quantitative (measurable), and extensive, is taken into account. We talk about environmental accountancy.

So we do not take directly into account The impact of activities on landscapes

• Noises, smells

• Toxicity of products

• Time

However,there are indirect ways to approach these issues…

• Environmental impacts related to the landscapes’ preservation can be taken into account in LCA

• Beyond a certain threshold, the number of disturbed persons can be taken into consideration

• The creation of specifics impact when the taking into account of toxicity has been made

… which require accurate, complicated and... debatable system constructions.
