dc.description.abstract |
At the present time, risk analysis is an effective management tool used by
environmental managers to protect the environment from inevitable anthropogenic
activities. There are generic elements in environmental risk assessments, which
are independent of the subject to which risk analysis is applied. Examples of
these elements are: baseline study, hazard identification, hazards'
concentration assessment and risk quantification. Another important example of
such generic elements is exposure assessment, which is required in a risk
analysis process for landfill leachate as it would in any other environmental
risk issue. Furthermore, computer models are also being developed to assist risk
analysis in different fields. However, in the review of current computer models
and literature, particularly regarding landfills, the authors have found no
evidence for the existence of a holistic exposure assessment procedure
underpinned with a computational method for landfill leachate. This paper, with
reference to the relevant literature and models reviewed, discusses the extent
to which exposure assessment is absent in landfill risk assessment approaches.
The study also indicates a number of factors and features that should be added
to the exposure assessment system in order to render it more strategic, thereby
enhancing the quantitative risk analysis. |
