摘要: This work presents a comparison of probabilistic and deterministic health risk estimates based on data from an industrial site in the northeastern United States. The assessment considered exposures to volatile solvents by drinking water ingestion showering. Probability densities used as inputs included concentrations, contact rates, exposure frequencies; dose-response were single values. Deterministic calculated {open_quotes}reasonable maximum exposure{close_quotes} (RME) approach recommended EPA Superfund program. RME noncarcinogenic fell between 90th 95th percentile probability density; cancer maximum. These results suggest that this case (1) EPA`s was reasonably protective, (2) calculations consistent, (3) commercially available software Monte Carlo effectively provided multiple recent guidance.
