Abstract

The main objective followed in the present study was to investigate the ENVIRONMENTal impacts of cotton production in Golestan Province, Iran applying life cycle assessment methodology. The data made use of in the study were obtained from cotton farmers through the method of face-to-face questionnaire, during 2011-2012. The questionnaires included the total inputs as regards cotton production in the region vs yield. The ENVIRONMENTal impacts as based upon three functional units (FU) namely: the production of one ton of biomass, generation of 1000 MJ of energy, and 10000 Toman of NET INCOME were put into investigation. The ENVIRONMENTal impacts were evaluated in the framework of seven impact categories of: GLOBAL WARMING, acidification, terrestrial eutrophication, land use, depletion of water resources, fossil resources depletion, and as well the depletion of phosphate and potash resources. Results revealed that the terrestrial eutrophication along with the depletion of fossil resources as based upon the ENVIRONMENTal index (EcoX) and RESOURCE DEPLETION Index (RDI) introduce the highest potential ENVIRONMENTal impacts. EcoX for one ton production of cotton, generation of 1000 MJ energy and gain of 10000 Toman NET INCOME were calculated as 0.832, 0.048 and 0.036, respectively. RDI figures for these three functional units were respectively estimated as: 6.825, 0.396 and 0.296.
