Human Health Risk Assessment Screening Tool for Atypical Risk Exposure Scenarios

The Investigation and Remedy Selection Focus Group developed this assessment screening tool with the intention of helping regulators review risk assessments that do not fit typical residential or commercial/industrial scenarios. These atypical situations, selected with States feedback, include exposures from trespassing, recreating, or short-term work assignments, etc. This tool helps reviewers determine if the variables used are within reasonable ranges and what variables have the highest impact on the ultimate outcome of a risk assessment.
