This full day hands-on course provides participants with an introduction to Human Health Quantitative Risk Assessment.
The course will be taught through a series of lectures interspersed with practical hand-on sessions using the Environment Agency’s CLEA model.
Delegates will learn about:
*
• The UK regulatory context relevant to Controlled Waters DQRA
• Methods/tools for Controlled Waters DQRA and how to choose which are most appropriate for the site being assessed
• Principles of contaminant fate and transport modelling in groundwater
• Data requirements for groundwater DQRA
• Forward versus reverse modelling to assess risks to Controlled Waters receptors
• How to derive site specific assessment criteria for soil and groundwater that are protective of Controlled Waters receptors
• Assessing uncertainty and risk evaluation
Each course is restricted to 10 delegates to ensure good trainer to delegate ratio for the practical work.
