There have been many studies estimating the environmental damage cost for different areas. However, most studies focused on environmental issues even with reflecting social and environmental value, but the results could not show comparable indicators. This study has been conducted to investigate the economic value of environmental impact based on the LCA six impact categories in order to compare their values, such as resource depletion, global warming, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, and photochemical oxidant creation. The result shows KRW 11,408/kg Sb, KRW 26.65/kg CO₂, KRW 139,970/kg CFC-11, KRW 2,599/kg SO₂, KRW 15,253/kg PO₄^3–, and KRW 3,030/kg C ₂H₂.
