Risk Assessment

Risk assessments identify where and to what extent human populations or ecological species are being exposed to concentrations of contaminants in environmental media such as soil, groundwater, air, and sediment. MFA uses a variety of methods to characterize risks that contaminants may pose to human health and the environment. These complex human health and ecological risk assessments are tailored to efficiently meet the objectives of each project. In many cases, a risk assessment can limit or even preclude the need for cleanup efforts.
