Zusammenfassung

This Ph.D. thesis assesses the impact of the change in the hazardous classification of formaldehyde in vehicle paint shops from an environmental and economic perspective. This work includes an evaluation of compliance with the applicable emission limit value for formaldehyde, a proposal of options to reduce the emissions and their economic impact, a Life Cycle Assessment of the painting process in a real vehicle paint shop and an eco-efficiency analysis. The outcomes of this thesis allowed to make a proposal for the most eco-efficient vehicle paint shop in view of formaldehyde emissions performance.
