Human Health Risk

Neptune’s team of toxicologists, risk assessors, modelers, and statisticians supports human health risk assessment by applying state-of-the-art risk assessment tools to support all phases of risk management, including:

  • Calculation of site-specific risk-based screening values and performance of screening level risk assessments under applicable regulatory guidance;

  • Asbestos risk assessment;

  • Performance of probabilistic human health risk assessments;

  • Application of a toolbox of contaminant transport models (e.g., Multimed, MEPAS, HELP, RESRAD, MODFLOW, ArcInfo GRID, HSSM, USGS MOC) to support risk assessments;

  • Development of project-specific contaminant transport and risk models to support risk management decisions at complex sites;

  • Integration of risk assessment with performance assessment of radioactive and other hazardous waste;

  • Analysis of relative risk associated with remedial decision alternatives;

  • Integration of risk assessment with decision analysis;

  • Determination of data needs using risk assessment integrated with value-of-information analysis; and,

  • Toxicological evaluations.
