About this book

   Environmental Modeling and Health Risk Analysis (ACTS/RISK) The purpose of this
   book is to provide the reader with an integrated perspective on several ?elds.
   First, it discusses the ?elds of environmental modeling in general and multimedia
   (the term "multimedia" is used throughout the text to indicate that environmental
   transformation and transport processes are discussed in association with three
   environmental media: air, groundwater and surface water pathways) environmental
   transformation and transport processes in particular; it also provides a detailed
   description of numerous mechanistic models that are used in these ?elds. Second,
   this book presents a review of the topics of exposure and health risk analysis.
   The Analytical Contaminant Transport Analysis System (ACTS) and Health RISK
   Analysis (RISK) software tools are an integral part of the book and provide
   computational platforms for all the models discussed herein. The most recent
   versions of these two software tools can be downloaded from the publisher's web
   site. The author recommends registering the software on the web download page so
   that users can receive updates about newer versions of the software.
