| Abstract | RAGS Volume 3: Part A addresses the technical and policy issues associated with the use of PRA in EPA Superfund program. This guidance builds upon basic concepts of risk assessment outlined in RAGS Volume I (U.S. EPA, 1989a; 2001), recent guidance for ecological risk assessment (U.S. EPA, 1992, 1994, 1997a, 1998a; 1999), and the Agency Probabilistic Analysis Policy document (U.S. EPA, 1997b). RAGS Volume 3: Part A addresses the use of PRA for both human health and ecological risk assessments. RAGS Volume 3: Part A was developed to provide risk assessors and risk managers with basic guidelines for incorporating PRA into Superfund site-specific risk assessments. It is not intended to be a detailed technical reference on PRA methods, however, it does direct the reader to appropriate literature on important technical subjects. A primary purpose of RAGS Volume 3: Part A is to help prevent misuse and misinterpretation of PRA. |
