A COMPREHENSIVE TEXTBOOK AND REFERENCE FOR QUANTITATIVE
ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ANALYSIS FOR BOTH CHEMICAL AND RADIOACTIVE
CONTAMINANTS
Environmental risk analysis is complex and interdisciplinary;
this book explains the fundamental concepts and analytical methods
in each essential discipline. With an emphasis on concepts and
applications of quantitative tools plus coverage of analysis of
both chemical and radioactive contaminants, this is a comprehensive
resource.
After an introduction and an overview of the basics of
environmental modeling, the book covers key elements in
environmental risk analysis methodology, including:
* Release assessment and source characterization
* Migration of contaminants in various media, including surface
water, groundwater, the atmosphere, and the food chain
* Exposure assessment
* Basic human toxicology and dose-response
* Risk characterization, including dose-response modeling and
analysis
* Risk management process and methods
* Risk communication and public participation
This reference also relates risk analysis to current
environmental laws and regulations. An ideal textbook for graduate
students and upper-level undergraduates in various engineering and
quantitative science disciplines, especially civil and
environmental engineering, it is also a great reference for
practitioners in industry, environmental consulting firms, and
regulatory agencies.

Autoren-Porträt von Robert A. Fjeld, Norman A. Eisenberg, Keith L. Compton
ROBERT A. FJELD, PhD, is the Dempsey Professor of WasteManagement, Department of Environmental Engineering and Science, at
Clemson University. He was among the first to develop curriculum
covering quantitative human health risk assessment for both
chemical and radiological contaminants.
NORMAN A. EISENBERG, PhD, has over thirty years of
experience in environmental risk analysis, including work on
environmental analysis within the federal government (U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy) and as a
consultant, and teaching graduate environmental courses at the
University of Maryland.
KEITH L. COMPTON, PhD, is a systems performance analyst
in the Division of Waste Management at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
