ES9007 ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT L T P C
3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
To provide knowledge related to the broad field of environmental risk assessment,
important processes that control contaminant transport and tools that can be
used in predicting and managing human health risks.
UNIT I INTRODUCTION 6
Sources of Environmental hazards – Environmental and ecological risks –
Environmental risk assessment framework – Regulatory perspectives and requirements
– Risk Analysis and Management and historical perspective; Social benefit Vs
16
technological risks; Path to risk analysis; Perception of risk, risk assessment in different
disciplines.
UNIT II ELEMENS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT 10
Hazard identification and accounting – Fate and behaviour of toxics and persistent
substances in the environment – Properties, processes and parameters that control fate
and transport of contaminants – Receptor exposure to Environmental Contaminants –
Dose Response Evaluation – Exposure Assessment – Exposure Factors, Slope Factors,
Dose Response calculations and Dose Conversion Factors – Risk Characterization and
consequence determination – Vulnerability assessment – Uncertainty analysis.
UNIT III TOOLS AND METHODS FOR RISK ASSESSMENT 12
HAZOP and FEMA methods – Cause failure analysis – Event tree and fault tree
modeling and analysis – Multimedia and multipathway exposure modeling of
contaminant migration for estimation of contaminant concentrations in air, water, soils,
vegetation and animal products – Estimation of carcinogenic and non carcinogenic risks
to human health – Methods in Ecological risk assessment – Probabilistic risk
assessments – radiation risk assessment – Data sources and evaluation.
UNIT IV RISK MANAGEMENT 8
Risk communication and Risk Perception – comparative risks – Risk based decision
making – Risk based environmental standard setting – Risk Cost Benefit optimization
and tradeoffs – Emergency Preparedness Plans – Emergency planning for chemical
agent release – Design of risk management programs – risk based remediation; Risk
communication, adaptive management, precaution and stake holder involvement.
UNIT V APPLICATIONS 9
Case studies on risk assessment and management for hazardous chemical storage –
Chemical industries – Tanneries – Textile industries – Mineral processing and
Petrochemical plants – Hazardous waste disposal facilities – nuclear power plants –
contaminated site remediation – Case histories on Bhopal, Chernobyl, Seveso, Three
Mile Island.
