description Rising concern over environmental problems with hazardous waste has led to the realization that there is a need for the scientific community to develop sound approaches for assessing the wide range of health and environmental effects that result from exposure to toxic chemicals. The main objective of a risk assessment, as it applies to cleanup decisions at Superfund sites and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facilities, is to determine the probability and magnitude of harm to public health, welfare, or the environment caused by the release of hazardous chemicals or wastes.
