Overview

Olivier Jolliet is affiliated with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a specific emphasis on health, toxicology, and mutagenesis. Additional areas of study include ecology, public health related to environmental and occupational health, environmental engineering, and industrial and manufacturing engineering.

Their work covers a range of topics including agriculture sustainability and environmental impact, air quality and health impacts, environmental impact and sustainability more broadly, effects and risks of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, nutritional studies and diet, recycling and waste management techniques, and carcinogens and genotoxicity assessment.

Jolliet has published numerous papers across various scientific journals. Recent publications include:

  • "LC-IMPACT: A regionalized life cycle damage assessment method," 2020, Journal of Industrial Ecology
  • "A framework for the assessment of marine litter impacts in life cycle impact assessment," 2021, Ecological Indicators
  • "Mineral resources in life cycle impact assessment-part I: a critical review of existing methods," 2020, The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment
  • "Chemicals of concern in plastic toys," 2020, Environment International
  • "Mineral resources in life cycle impact assessment: part II- recommendations on application-dependent use of existing methods and on future method development needs," 2020, The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Jolliet include Peter Fantke, Lei Huang, Vy Kim Nguyen, Justin A. Colacino, and Nicolò Aurisano.

The scientist's work has appeared repeatedly in several publication venues, including:

  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Environmental Science & Technology
  • The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment
  • Environment International

Jolliet has contributed to book publications as well, including a title published by FAO eBooks: "Integration of environment and nutrition in life cycle assessment of food items: opportunities and challenges," published in 2021.
