Risk Assessment of Contaminated Environments
Risk assessment of contaminated environments is a scientific process that helps to identify, evaluate and control the risks associated with human and ecological exposure to hazardous substances in the environment. It involves collecting and analyzing data to assess the potential health and ecological risks posed by the contamination. The primary goal of risk assessment is the protection of human health and the environment from the effects of contamination. It is used to inform decision-making for clean-up and other remedial actions, as well as for environmental and public health management activities. Risk assessment can also be used to identify and address both current and potential sources of contamination to prevent further environmental damage.
