Assessment of Groundwater Pollution Risk
Q.5-How do I assess the risk of groundwater quality problems arising from pollution of urban aquifers? Written specifically for this Web-site by Brian Morris and Stephen Foster, drawing extensively from Foster and Hirata 1988, Morris and Foster 2000 (see references) and unpublished material.
متن کاملRisk assessment as an engineering tool in landfills
Risk assessment has been widely used as a tool for the development of waste management facilities. At the strategic level, risk assessment is used to inform decision makers about the planning process. In terms of a specific site, environmental risk assessment is used to identify risk management options. As an engineering tool, risk assessment is used to optimize the mitigation measures required...
متن کاملScreening for colorectal cancer: possible improvements by risk assessment evaluation?
Emerging results indicate that screening improves survival of patients with colorectal cancer. Therefore, screening programs are already implemented or are being considered for implementation in Asia, Europe and North America. At present, a great variety of screening methods are available including colono- and sigmoidoscopy, CT- and MR-colonography, capsule endoscopy, DNA and occult blood in fe...
متن کاملInhalation transfer factors for air pollution health risk assessment.
To facilitate routine health risk assessments, we develop the concept of an inhalation transfer factor (ITF). The ITF is defined as the pollutant mass inhaled by an exposed individual per unit pollutant mass emitted from an air pollution source. A cumulative population inhalation transfer factor (PITF) is also defined to describe the total fraction of an emitted pollutant inhaled by all members...
متن کاملAir pollution directional risk assessment for siting a landfill.
Air pollution directional risk (APDR) is an essential factor to be assessed when selecting an appropriate landfill site. Because air pollutants generated from a landfill are diffused and transported by wind in different directions and speeds, areas surrounding the landfill will be subject to different associated risks, depending on their relative position from the landfill. This study assesses ...
