Can i Compare AI/AC med risk hrs in PSILCA?

Question

In a Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) using PSILCA, can I directly compare the results of two different impact indicators, such as 'AI med risk hours' and 'AC med risk hours,' even though they both use 'med risk hours' as the unit? I'm unsure if the prefixes 'AI' and 'AC' signify fundamentally different types of risk that prevent direct comparison.

Answer 1

Well I think technically you can, but content-wise you need to check for yourself whether it makes sense or not. For some indicators, relations and ratios could be interesting I think (child work vs. illiteracy, etc.).

Thanks for the reply. So are the results that we receive in 'AI med risk hours' ,  'AC med risk hours, etc., already normalised? Am I right?
