A Framework for Risk Assessment of Disposal of Contaminated Materials Treated by Solidification/Stabilization

摘要

Quantitative risk assessment is a tool used at hazardous waste sites to evaluate the need for treat- ment and to determine which control strategies should be implemented. A general approach to con- ducting quantitative risk assessments at contaminated sites is reviewed and a framework for ap- plying it to evaluating risk associated with ground water contamination by disposal of materials treated by solidification and stabilization is presented. This approach is based on a material bal- ance around the disposal zone and the groundwater flowing past it.
