Abstract

Presents the findings of a research project into benchmark risk assessment models and risk ranking tools identified as being in use in the UK in relation to risk-based decision-making for contaminated sites. The primary purpose was to describe models in a way that current and potential users in the UK can understand their logic, characteristics and approaches to risk assessment so as to make judgements as to their suitability for decision-making.
