Combining exposure and effect modeling into an integrated probabilistic environmental risk assessment for nanoparticles

Combining exposure and effect modeling into an integrated probabilistic environmental risk assessment for nanoparticles.

There is a growing need for good environmental risk assessment of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). Environmental risk assessment of ENPs has been hampered by lack of data and knowledge about ENPs, their environmental fate, and their toxicity. This leads to uncertainty in the risk assessment. To deal with uncertainty in the risk assessment effectively, probabilistic methods are advantageous. In ...

Applicable risk assessment methods in occupational and environmental exposure to nanoparticles - a narrative review

Nanoparticles (NPs) are a heterogeneous group of materials that have various applications, and their risk assessment is an essential condition. This study aimed to review the applicable risk assessment methods in occupational and environmental exposures to NPs. A literature search for articles published since 2005 in Web of Knowledge, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, using ap...

Earth System Modeling—An Integrated Assessment Tool for Environmental Studies

This paper overviews a wide spectrum of influences on the Earth’s climate system. These include external effects, such as variations in the solar energy output, and internal influences. Internal influences include both natural and human-caused effects. The feedbacks associated with the Earth’s climate system are nonlinear and occur over a range of time and space scales. As a result, our ability...

An Integrated Methodology for Assessment and Mapping of Land Degradation Risk in Markazi Province, Iran

Desertification is recognized as a serious environmental threat in Iran because of its climatic-geomorphologicconditions. Desertification and land degradation in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions, is a globalenvironmental problem. Accurate assessment of the status and trend of desertification is instrumental in developingglobal strategies to prevent and reverse this problem. The goal o...
