Abstract |
The report describes an integrated exposure and risk methodology developed for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of a program to assess exposure/risk of 65 classes of chemicals (129 'priority pollutants') in the water environment. It provides an overview of the risk assessment process and a detailed discussion of the analytic components of an environmental exposure and risk assessment including approaches for evaluating: the environmental loadings resulting from production, transport, use, and disposal of the chemicals; the mechanisms of pollutant transport and transformation in environmental media and the concentrations detected; the extent of exposure of humans and other biota; and the risk presented to exposed populations. The methodology is intended to provide a general understanding of environmental exposure and risk assessment and to assist those who will be conducting this type of analysis. It contains numerous examples from exposure and risk assessments of 54 priority pollutants performed for EPA and a bibliography of source materials. |
