摘要:Environmental engineers who are responsible for the transport or disposal of waste must analyze and manage the risk to the surrounding environment. "Environmental Risk Analysis" provides the reader with a myriad of tables, graphs and statistical formulas that are used in a wide array of risk analysis and risk management strategies.; The book includes a step-by-step approach of planning and peforming an effective environmental risk analysis with check list which allows for a more systematic planning. Common risks such as transport problems, burial/storage problems, monitoring problems and spillage problems are explored, as well as how to overcome them. In addition to abundant tables, graphs and formulas for a variety of risk analysis and risk management strategies, the book explains complex statistical techniques in common basic language.
