| Description |
The requirementfor environmentally adapted lubricants has begun to play an increasingly important role in many industrial applications, particularly in the last two decades. The present-day requirements for biodegradable and eco-ji-iendly lubricants imply that lubricants have properties that can minimise, if not eliminate, negative environmental impact, such as contam- ination oj soil and water, caused by lost lubrication, leakage and accidents. The dominant,factors that have a direct impact on the ensironment and which characterise the lubricant and its chemical composition, are toxicity, bio-ac- cumulation and biodegradability. Biodegradabih'ty is perhaps the most im- portant factor which determines the fate oj lubricant in the environment. Various commercial, governmental, and regulatory initiatives exist that protect the interests ojthe consumer. Life cycle analysis can help in assessing the total environmental impact of lubricants. This paper reviews the essential requirements of environmentally adapted lubricants, i.e., chemical composi- tion, eco-toxiciv, biodegradability, bio-accumulation, and eco-labelling schemes, and life cycle analysis
