Quantification of carbon emission and solid waste from pottery production by using life-cycle assessment (LCA) method in Yunnan, China

Environmental pollution in the pottery industry is a severe problem, particularly dust and smoke pollution from the building-pottery industry. The main objectives of this study are to quantify the carbon emissions and solid-waste generation from the life cycle of pottery production in Yunnan. This s...
