Environmental contamination issues are a complex problem with
worldwide implications. Risks to both human and ecological health
as a result of toxic materials present or introduced into the
environment are a matter of grave concern to modern society. The
effective management of environmental contamination problems has
therefore become an important environmental priority that will
remain a growing social challenge for years to come. Risk
assessment promises a way for developing appropriate strategies to
aid environmental management decisions in this arena. Risk
assessment is a tool used to organize structure, and compile
scientific information in order to help identify existing hazardous
situations or problems, anticipate potential problems, establish
priorities, and provide a basis for regulatory controls and/or
corrective actions. This book attempts to provide a concise, yet
comprehensive overview of the many facets/aspects relating to
chemical risk assessments. It presents some very important tools
and methodologies that can be used to help resolve environmental
contamination problems in a consistent, efficient and
cost-effective way. Overall the book represents a collection and
synthesis of the principal elements of the risk assessment process
that pertain to environmental contamination problems. It offers an
understanding of the scientific basis of risk assessment and its
applications in the environmental industry including a portrayal of
how the risk assessment process fits into regulatory policies. The
subject matter of this book can indeed be used to aid the
resolution of a variety of environmental management problems.
