 abstract={The assessment of the environmental impacts of chemicals in technical applications is increasingly important as environmentally less burdening substitutes for problematic ones are to be phased-out by law. Life cycle assessment is an appropriate but time-consuming method towards this goal. The intention of this paper is to test if the less laborious mathematical model METEOR (METhod of Evaluation by ORder theory) based on substanceintrinsic properties comes to similar results. In the present work, the environmental impact of eleven refrigerants is studied in their application to mobile air-conditioning systems in passenger cars. The results of two life cycle assessment methods (Eco-lndicator 99, CML02) are compared with those of METEOR. Refrigerants included in this study comprise two hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, five hydrofluoroethers, one hydrochlorofluorocarbon, and two hydrofluorocarbons, one of which is 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (Rl34a), a refrigerant which must be phased out by 2017. The hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and the other hydrofluorocarbon tum out to be the best altematives for Rl 34a. METEOR is less subjective than life cycle assessment methods, but the results are not comparable. METEOR is suitable for pre-selection, to keep the number of substances small for which LCA needs to be conducted.},
