Evaluating the Environmental Impacts of the Bell Pepper Production System Using the Life Cycle Assessment Technique (Case study: Dezful County (

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an approach to study the environmental impacts of product production or activities that are calculated based on two indicators of resource consumption and emissions. This study aims to investigate the environmental effects of the production of Bell pepper using The Life Cycle Assessment Technique was conducted during the years 2011-2017. The first information was obtained through the organization of Jihad-e-Agriculture and interviews and interviews from 260 statistical population with 152 farmers who were determined by the Cochran formula in Dezful In order to analyze environmental impacts, the ISO 14040 method was used for a functional unit equivalent to one ton of Bell pepper. The global warming, acidity, evacuation of water resources, fossil, phosphate and potassium comprise six groups of studied effect. The results showed that CO2 and NH3 pollutants in the form of groups of effect of global warming and acidity in the Bell pepper culture system had the highest effect. The values ​​of environmental index (EcoX) and resource depletion index (RDI) were calculated 0.0492 and 0.4806, respectively. The effects of sensitivity and phosphate discharging sources respectively have the highest potential for environmental damage in the group of environmental impacts and Evacuated resources. Therefore, management of the use of urea fertilizer and the replacement of some of it with organic and non-chemical resources in agricultural indigenous peoples in order to reduce the environmental pollution of Iran is indispensable and inevitable.
