Abstract
The potential of ground water contamination is one of the major concerns over land disposal of hazardous waste. Risk assessment requires information on ground water concentrations of contaminants at the exposure location. Results are presented of case studies comparing health risk assessment and plume delineation based on state-of-the-modeling and monitoring data.
