Resumen:
This paper summarizes the steps to verify if acidification impact should be considered in a LCA study. It is based on a procedure developed for western arid region of Argentina as a parameter for analysis in the Eastern of Parana State in Brazil. Data needed to perform the analysis and to calculate the acidification factor for the region are atmospherically  data, levels of sulphur, nitrogen deposition, soil types and classes of sensitivity.  From the obtained acidification potential is possible determinate if this type of impact must or must not used on the life cycle impact assessments in both regions.
