Values for pH are for entire region (94) medians for N03", SO/- and the N03 (N03- + SO/-) ratio exclude sites with potential agricultural or other land-use impacts (96). 

Other aggregation methodologies have also been proposed in the literature. One approach is based on thermodynamics materials, fuels, and wastes can all be expressed as the total consumption or loss of exergy, or energy available to do work (Bakshi and Fiksel, 2003). Alternatively, the metrics may be expressed in terms of land use, or ecological footprint. Land use impacts of energy sources and common household materials have been reported (Chambers et al., 2000). It is unclear, however, whether proxies such as exergy and land use adequately represent overall sustainability impacts.

The scientific discussion on impacts of land use tries to answer the basic question of how to measure the quality of different ways of land occupation. Lindeijer distinguishes three basic types of assessment for land use impacts, acknowledging that they may be overlapping to some part [20]. These types are the Junctional approach, land use classes, and key indicators.
