A Fuzzy-Set Approach for Addressing Uncertainties in Risk Assessment of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Site

This study presented an integrated approach for evaluating environmental risks associated with hydrocarbon-contaminated sites through incorporation of a multiphase multi-component modeling system within a general risk assessment framework. The uncertainties associated with risk evaluation criteria were emphasized and effectively addressed through the development of a fuzzy-set approach. This development was based on (a) simulation of the fate …
