Human Health Risk Assessment from Contaminated Sites & Emissions Service

GECOsistema provides scientific support for 10 years, technical and administrative personnel in the field of risk assessment for human health determined by the release of chemicals, carcinogens and toxic ambienatli in different media: air, water, soil and food chain.

GECOsistema develop risk assessments for human health, for the following categories of potential sources of contamination:

• Land and contaminated sites
• Atmospheric emissions (inceneritorei, refineries, chemical plants, power plants)
• Landfill

GECOsistema Ltd. is specialized in the quantitative assessment of the risk to human health and the environment (Human Health Risk Assessment) application procedures and methodologies developed by several scientific institutions and national governments and international, including:

• Risk Analysis pursuant to Legislative Decree 152/06
• Risk Analysis for Landfill
• Criteria for the methodological application of the analysis of absolute risk to landfill (Revision 0, June 2005)
• Criteria for the methodological application of the analysis of absolute risk contaminated sites (Revision 1, August 2006)
• HHRAP Human Health Risk Assessment Protocol for Hazardous Waste Combustion Facilities
• RBCA ASTM E1739-95 (2002) Standard Guide for Risk-Based Corrective Action Applied at Petroleum Release Sites

The multidisciplinary team of specialists in toxicology, Chimchar, environmental engineers, biologists, engineers and experts in statistical modeling of the fate and transport (Transport and Fate) of chemicals in the environment, we can quantitatively assess the risk for specific site human health and the environment.

The quantitative risk assessment for human health is developed according to the following steps:

• Hazard identification: Identifying the nature and magnitude of potential hazards and designing strategies to Evaluate Human Health Risks
• Dose response: Studying the Relationships Between an individual`s exposure to Toxic Substances, the amount of chemical or chemical Retained metabolites in the body (internal dose or body burden), and health outcomes
• Human exposure: modeling aggregate and cumulative Modeling and Predicting Exposures of humans to chemicals
• Risk Characterization: Describing and categorizing the uncertainty and variability in risk Estimates to support decision making and policy analysis

We offer a full range of services upon any customer in the field of Human Health Risk Assessments:

• Identification of potential sources of contamination
• Estimate modeling the fate and transport of pollutants in environmental media
• Quantification of exposure to chemicals
• Evaluation of the toxic properties of substances and canceogene
• Quantifying the risk of those potentially exposed and individuaizone
• Maps and iso-iso-risk exposure for different sensitive receptors

GECOsistema Ltd. has developed a RISK-GIS software for the application of quantitative risk assessment for human health from exposure to certain hazardous chemicals were released in various environmental media. RISK-GIS was developed in GIS environment where the user is able to proceed in all stages of the HHRA (Human Health Risk Assessment) through a user-friendly.
