Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has sponsored the development of a software system to assist environmental personnel in conducting risk assessments at hazardous waste sites, and also in reviewing assessments generated by contractors for correspondence with EPA and state standards. his computerized system, called Risk*Assistant, combines a series of tools, including databases, expert exposure and risk values. hese tools are provided in an IBM-PC format, with a user-friendly interface that allows a user to begin using the system quickly with little or no training.
