Keywords: Multistressor; Effect factor; Life cycle assessment EN Multistressor Effect factor Life cycle assessment 2192 2195 4 12/06/21 20211101 NES 211101 Introduction Heijungs ([4]) recently discussed in his note "The average versus marginal debate in Life Cycle Impact Assessment: paradigm regained" how marginal and average effect factors may be derived in a multistressor context. A second argument of Heijungs against the average effect factor approach is the presumed requirement that "an average, per-item value, multiplied by the number of items, should give the total value.".
