Title:
Waste Treatment and Optimal Degree of Pollution Abatement

Comments:
Sometimes, treating waste further actually causes more pollution by shifting the pollution to another secondary "cleaning" source

Kniel, G. E., K. Delmarco, and J. G. Petrie

Title:
Life Cycle Assessment Applied to Process Design: Environmental and Economic Analysis and Optimization of a Nitric Acid Plant

Title:
Comparison of moist vs. air-dry biomass provision chains for energy generation from annual crops

Comments:
have conversions for types of emissions into other types.  Obviously wet biomass gives less energy due to the cost of evaporating water.  Biofules cost more.

Title:
Life Cycle  Assessment of electricity production from poplar energy crops compared with conventional fossil fuels

Comments:
not enough information about the fossil fuel routes.  Did they do full LCA on that too?
