Assessing Environmental Sustainability Using Ecological Limits Expressed as Mass Flowrates with the Inclusion of a Sustainable Time Perspective

This study explores the concept of ecological limits (<i>EL</i>s) for determining the sustainable extraction of natural resources and sustainable discharge of emissions. <i>EL</i>s are expressed as limiting mass flowrates and equations are developed and presented for their qu...
