Environmental risk assessment is a process that evaluates potential risks and hazards that may affect the environment as a result of human activities, such as industrial processes, waste disposal, or land development. This assessment involves identifying and analyzing potential sources of contamination, assessing the likelihood of environmental harm, and determining the potential impact on ecosystems and human health. The goal of environmental risk assessment is to provide decision-makers with information to make informed choices about managing and mitigating risks to the environment. It typically involves a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates scientific data, modeling, and expert judgment to determine the level of risk and develop strategies to minimize or prevent environmental harm.
