Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analysis of particulate matter of major building material Construction phase through life cycle impact assessment. For this purpose, the theoretical consideration of the life cycle assessment and environmental impact category was performed and the direction of the study was set up. That is, the major material in the global warming potential view was drawn against the building and LCI database was selected. The classification was performed about 4 kinds of substance and impact index, such as particulate matter formation (PM10), that it specifies in ReCiPe 2009. And the environmental impact of particulate matter for the construction material production stage was calculated through the characterization. Meanwhile, the environmental impact of construction material in the same category was analyze based on the characterization impact which was calculated in this study. The amount of PMF emission factor was the most in plate glass (1.70E-02 kg-PM10-eq/kg). It was analyzed that PM10 was generated in the electric furnace for manufacturing glass products made of silica sand and crushed glass.
