Introducing a novel approach to setting environmental pollution
standards that allow for proper treatment of uncertainty and
variation, this book surveys the forms of standards and proposes a
new kind of "statistically verifiable ideal standard." Setting
Environmental Standards includes: a current analysis regarding the
treatment of uncertainty and variation in environmental standard
setting a review of basic principles in standard setting, including
costs, actions and effects, and benefits examples where uncertainty
and variation have been well-treated in current practice as well as
examples where clear deficiencies are apparent specific proposals
for the future approach to setting environmental pollution
standards - encompassing the anticipated elements of uncertainty
and variability The issues discussed serve statisticians as well as
those persons involved with environmental standards. Scientists in
agencies responsible for setting standards, in organizations
advising such agencies or working in industries subject to these
standards, will find Setting Environmental Standards an invaluable
reference.
It is increasingly clear that good quantitative work in the
environmental sciences must be genuinely interdisciplinary. This
volume, the proceedings of the first combined TIES/SPRUCE
conference held at the University of Sheffield in September 2000,
well demonstrates the truth of this assertion, highlighting the
successful use of both statistics and mathematics in important
practical problems.
It brings together distinguished scientists and engineers to
present the most up-to-date and practical methods for quantitative
measurement and prediction and is organised around four themes:
- spatial and temporal models and methods;
- environmental sampling and standards;
- atmosphere and ocean;
- risk and uncertainty.
Quantitative Methods for Current Environmental Issues is an
invaluable resource for statisticians, applied mathematicians and
researchers working on environmental problems, and for those in
government agencies and research institutes involved in the
analysis of environmental issues.
