Overview of Radiation and Chemical Ecological Risk Assessment Models and Guidance for Contaminated Sites and Selected Default Input Parameters (Jul 25, 2024)

Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN): Internet Seminar Video Archives

To help meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund program's mandate to protect human health and the environment from current and potential threats posed by uncontrolled hazardous substance (both radiological and non-radiological), pollutant, or contaminant releases, the Superfund program has developed an ecological risk assessment process as part of its remedial response program. This webinar will describe the process and results from a research project concerning factors that could potentially attribute to adverse ecological risk for biota due to radioactive contamination in soil or water at or near Superfund sites. This project reviewed models and guidance on assessing protection of biota to exposures from contamination at sites issued or recommended by federal, state, and foreign governments.
