摘要: Risk is a result of uncertainty concerning the consequences hazardous situation. This paper discusses three aspects associated with environmental risks: (1) sources uncertainty, (2) types uncertainties classes assessment endpoints, individuals, aggregates, and systems, (3) ways that realized in process. The occurrence potential for validation methods are discussed assessments based on mathematical models, observational studies, experimental studies. Finally, to reduce risk discussed, examples utility analysis presented.
