Risk Assessment

DoD employs a risk management approach in the environmental restoration program and in its management of its ranges. SERDP and ESTCP efforts include detailed analyses of the fate and transport of contaminants; improved understanding of exposure pathways to humans and ecological receptors; contaminant effects on ecological receptors; and tools and methods to assess environmental impacts.
