United States Environmental Protection Agency Washington D.c. 20460 Re: Sab Review of the Multimedia, Multipathway, and Multireceptor Risk Assessment (3mra) Modeling System

چکیده
The 3MRA modeling system is a major step forward in providing a flexible and consistent tool for estimating the distributions of the probability of exceeding adverse effect benchmarks that result from various choices of exit thresholds. Used in conjunction with other factors, 3MRA provides a scientifically defensible framework that gives reproducible results for determining national exit levels for RCRA-listed hazardous wastes.

Investigating Uncertainty and Sensitivity in Integrated, Multimedia Environmental Models: Tools for 3MRA
Elucidating uncertainty and sensitivity structures in environmental models can be a difficult task, even for low-order, single-medium constructs driven by a unique set of site-specific data. Quantitative assessment of integrated, multimedia models that simulate hundreds of sites, spanning multiple geographical and ecological regions, will ultimately require a comparative approach using several ...

Introduction: 1,3-Butadiene is a carcinogenic compound that can be emitted to the atmosphere from several sources like petrochemical industry. One way to determine the level of carcinogenic and health effects of respiratory exposure to pollutants in the workplace is to use risk assessment methods. The aim of this study was to comparative assessment of carcinogenic risk of respiratory exposure t...
