   Risk assessment determines possible mishaps, their likelihood and consequences, and the tolerances for such events. [1] The results of this process may be expressed in a quantitative or qualitative fashion. Risk assessment is an inherent part of a broader risk management strategy to help reduce any potential risk-related consequences. [1] [2]

4. Ecological assessment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_assessment

   Ecological assessment (EA) implies the monitoring of ecological resources, to discover the current and changing conditions. EAs are required components of most hazardous waste site investigations. Such assessments, in conjunction with contamination and human health risk assessments, help to evaluate the environmental hazards posed by ...

6. Phase I environmental site assessment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_I_environmental_site...

   Environmental Assessment has little to do with the subject of hazardous substance liability, but rather is a study preliminary to an Environmental Impact Statement, which identifies environmental impacts of a land development action and analyzes a broad set of parameters including biodiversity, environmental noise, water pollution, air ...

7. Climate risk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_risk

   Common approaches to risk assessment and risk management strategies are based on analysing hazards. This can also be applied to climate risk although there are distinct differences: The climate system is no longer staying within a stationary range of extremes. [6] Hence, climate change impacts are anticipated to increase for the coming decades. [7]

8. Integrated risk information system - Wikipedia

   The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is an environmental assessment program operated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The IRIS program is focused on risk assessment , and not risk management (those decision processes involving analysis of regulatory, legal, social and economic considerations related to the risks being ...

9. Environmental epidemiology - Wikipedia

   Environmental epidemiology research can inform government policy change, risk management activities, and development of environmental standards. Vulnerability is the summation of all risk and protective factors that ultimately determine whether an individual or subpopulation experiences adverse health outcomes when an exposure to an ...
