Abstract

Quantitative risk assessment is a procedure fo r estimating the probability of an adverse health effect occurring in a local population from some events and the probability of the occurrence of the event. The risk analysis pr ocess consists of hazard identification, risk estimation, risk acceptability, risk evaluation and risk management. In this research, after extracting the risk assessment components; an algorithm has been drawn in order to analyse the risk assessment and to esta blish the framework for risk analysis in environmental problems. Such studies can be applied as guidance for further environmental studies in future.
