Brownfields, Risk-Based Corrective Action, and Local Communities
Author: Peter B. Meyer
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437980449
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Addresses the problems facing communities that suffer both environ. risks from past contamination and depressed economic activity. In such settings, redevelopment of contaminated sites and the associated economic development may require compromised standards for environmental mitigation. But partial cleanups can be shown to face inevitable failure at some future date. Thus, in such an approach, communities face risks that they should be capable of accepting or rejecting. The study considers these risks and assesses 4 alternative land use control strategies for assuring community participation in making decisions about both the cleanup process today and the response to risks of failure in the future. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

Risk Methodologies for Technological Legacies
Author: Dennis Bley
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401000972
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
The Cold War Era left the major participants, the United States and the former Soviet Union (FSU), with large legacies in terms of both contamination and potential accidents. Facility contamination and environmental degradation, as well as the accident vulnerable facilities and equipment, are a result of weapons development, testing, and production. Although the countries face similar issues from similar activities, important differences in waste management practices make the potential environmental and health risks of more immediate concern in the FSU and Eastern Europe. In the West, most nuclear and chemical waste is stored in known contained locations, while in the East, much of the equivalent material is unconfined, contaminating the environment. In the past decade, the U.S. started to address and remediate these Cold War legacies. Costs have been very high, and the projected cost estimates for total cleanup are still increasing. Currently in Russia, the resources for starting such major activities continue to be unavailable.

Quantitative Modeling in Toxicology
Author: Kannan Krishnan
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470686707
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
Governments around the world are passing laws requiring industry to assess the toxicity of the chemicals and products they produce, but to do so while reducing, refining, or even replacing testing on animals. To meet these requirements, experimental toxicologists and risk assessors are adopting quantitative approaches and computer simulations to study the biological fate and effects of chemicals and drugs. In Quantitative Modeling in Toxicology leading experts outline the current state of knowledge on the modeling of dose, tissue interactions and tissue responses. Each chapter describes the mathematical foundation, parameter estimation, challenges and perspectives for development, along with the presentation of a modeling template. Additionally, tools and approaches for conducting uncertainty, sensitivity and variability analyses in these models are described. Topics covered include: the quantitative models of pharmacokinetics of individual chemicals and mixtures models for toxicant-target tissue interaction. models for cellular, organ, and organism responses. approaches, tools and challenges for model application and evaluation A website containing computer codes accompanies the book to help the reader reconstruct the models described and discussed in the various chapters. Quantitative Modeling in Toxicology serves as an essential reference source and tool box for risk assessors and researchers and students in toxicology, public health, pharmacology, and human toxicology interested in developing quantitative models for a better understanding of dose-response relationships.
