First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for network-enabled risk assessment, the method comprising the steps of:
- utilizing a global computer network;
utilizing GIS software;
providing environmental site data, population exposure, and chemical toxicity information, the information containing reference information, the reference information being continuously updateable;
providing data storage means;
providing data entry means for entering the information;
providing means for entering exposure assessment data, which comprises the steps of;
providing fate and transport modeling; and
, providing means for entering at least one entity that may be exposed to at least one contaminant;
providing means for entering toxicity assessment data;
calculating risk characterization;
providing target level development and risk assessment;
providing means for factoring in uncertainty analysis data;
providing controlled access to the information;
updating the information;
providing a deterministic numeric analysis of environmental numeric human health and ecological clean-up level calculation; and
, providing a probabilistic numeric analysis of environmental numeric human health and ecological clean-up level calculation.

Abstract
A new and improved method and apparatus for risk assessment, including the use of a global computer network. The invention utilizes network-enabled software and a global computer network in order to provide access to continuously updateable information in order to perform a risk assessment. The inventive system allows a user to access risk assessment information and reference data, within the bounds of their security restrictions.
