vulnerability. This also provides a good opportunity for the further application of
uncertainty theory. Since stochastic mathematics theory and fuzzy mathematics
theory are highly complementary, coupled stochastic-fuzzy analysis will become
the prevailing method for groundwater pollution risk assessment in the future.
4.3 Brief Summary
This chapter discusses the methods for assessing the health risk and groundwater
pollution risk respectively in three typical sites of groundwater contamination:
HWLFs, MSWLFs, and OCS. Health risk assessment consists of hazard identification, dose–response assessment, exposure assessment and risk characterization to
calculate the risk control value for soil and groundwater contamination. The RBCA
model (USA) and the HERA model (China) are commonly used for this purpose.
Groundwater pollution risk assessment encompasses the assessment of intrinsic
vulnerability, assessment of specific vulnerability, identification of external pollutant types and hazard levels, and groundwater value/function evaluation. The prevailing methods include index superposition, process simulation and uncertainty
analysis. The findings about human health risk control values and groundwater
pollution risks are helpful for the rational selection of pollution prevention and
control measures and remediation measures towards better management of contaminated sites.
