QUANTITATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ANALYSIS FOR HUMAN HEALTH

An updated edition of the foundational guide to environmental risk analysis

Environmental risk analysis is a systematic process essential for the evaluation, management, and communication of the human health risk posed by the release of contaminants to the environment. Performed correctly, risk analysis is an essential tool in the protection of the public from the health hazards posed by chemical and radioactive contaminants. Cultivating the quantitative skills required to perform risk analysis competently is a critical need.

Quantitative Environmental Risk Analysis for Human Health meets this need with a thorough, comprehensive coverage of the fundamental knowledge necessary to assess environmental impacts on human health. It introduces readers to a robust methodology for analyzing environmental risk, as well as to the fundamental principles of uncertainty analysis and the pertinent environmental regulations. Now updated to reflect the latest research and new cutting-edge methodologies, this is an essential contribution to the practice of environmental risk analysis.

Readers of the second edition of Quantitative Environmental Risk Analysis for Human Health will also find:

  • Detailed treatment of source and release characterization, contaminant migration, exposure assessment, and more
  • New coverage of computer-based analytical methods
  • A new chapter of case studies providing actual, real-world examples of environmental risk assessments

Quantitative Environmental Risk Analysis for Human Health is must-have for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in civil engineering, environmental engineering, and environmental science, as well as for risk analysis practitioners in industry, environmental consultants, and regulators.
