Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessment has become a dominant public policy tool for making choices, based on limited resources, to protect public health and the environment. It has been instrumental to the mission of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as other federal agencies in evaluating public health concerns, informing regulatory and technological decisions, prioritizing research needs and funding, and in developing approaches for cost-benefit analysis. However, risk assessment is at a crossroads. Despite advances in the field, risk assessment faces a number of significant challenges including lengthy delays in making complex decisions; lack of data leading to significant uncertainty in risk assessments; and many chemicals in the marketplace that have not been evaluated and emerging agents requiring assessment. Science and Decisions makes practical scientific and technical recommendations to address these challenges. This book is a complement to the widely used 1983 National Academies book, Risk Assessment in the Federal Government (also known as the Red Book). The earlier book established a framework for the concepts and conduct of risk assessment that has been adopted by numerous expert committees, regulatory agencies, and public health institutions. The new book embeds these concepts within a broader framework for risk-based decision-making. Together, these are essential references for those working in the regulatory and public health fields.
Download or read book Approaches to Understanding the Cumulative Effects of Stressors on Marine Mammals written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine mammals face a large array of stressors, including loss of habitat, chemical and noise pollution, and bycatch in fishing, which alone kills hundreds of thousands of marine mammals per year globally. To discern the factors contributing to population trends, scientists must consider the full complement of threats faced by marine mammals. Once populations or ecosystems are found to be at risk of adverse impacts, it is critical to decide which combination of stressors to reduce to bring the population or ecosystem into a more favorable state. Assessing all stressors facing a marine mammal population also provides the environmental context for evaluating whether an additional activity could threaten it. Approaches to Understanding the Cumulative Effects of Stressors on Marine Mammals builds upon previous reports to assess current methodologies used for evaluating cumulative effects and identify new approaches that could improve these assessments. This review focuses on ways to quantify exposure-related changes in the behavior, health, or body condition of individual marine mammals and makes recommendations for future research initiatives.

Download or read book A Cumulative Effects Assessment and Management Framework CEAMF for Northeast British Columbia written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to describe a framework to both assess & manage cumulative environmental effects in the portion of north-east British Columbia bordered to the south & west respectively by the Peace River and the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. Volume 1 begins with an introduction that defines the meaning of a cumulative effects assessment & management framework (CEAMF). Section 2 describes the administrative context for land management in the province and in the study area. Section 3 describes the development of a database of environmental & land use information for the study area, summarizes existing environmental & land use features, identifies cumulative effects issues, and provides examples of how the database can be used to identify potential cumulative effects hot spots. Section 4 presents a process for assessing & managing cumulative effects at the project-specific & regional level and an approach for implementing the CEAMF, including the roles & responsibilities of those involved. Finally, the volume presents a set of broad recommendations for using the CEAMF and integrating it with existing plans & tools and for monitoring & managing cumulative effects. Appendices provide background & technical information on the CEAMF and its components. Volume 2 first identifies four candidate indicators for cumulative effects evaluation & management and explains the theory behind the choice of these indicators. Case studies are then presented that evaluate the applicability of the recommended indicators for Oil & Gas Commission project screening in north-east British Columbia using detailed regional data from the Blueberry & Sukunka study areas located north-west & south- west of Fort St. John. Finally, it identifies proposed ecological thresholds for north-east British Columbia and a process to implement those thresholds and enhance cumulative effects management. Appendices include a review of cumulative effects concepts, a summary of the scientific literature on indicators & thresholds used in cumulative effects assessment, and stand-alone case study reports for the Blueberry & Sukunka areas.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cumulative effects of multiple environmental perturbations of natural and social systems were identified as needing study because of a lack of a clear and unambiguous definition of cumulative effects assessment, despite the widespread recognition of its importance. There is increasing concern that neither scientists nor institutions work at the temporal and spatial scales needed for the assessment of cumulative effects. The workshop explored these issues, identified current scientific and management techniques of dealing with cumulative effects, and to recommended research and management priorities for improving the management of cumulative effects.

Download or read book Ecological Impact Assessment written by Jo Treweek and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-24 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human development. Ecological impact assessment (EcIA) is used to predict and evaluate the impacts of development on ecosystems and their components,thereby providing the information needed to ensure that ecological issues are given full and proper consideration in development planning. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has emerged as a key to sustainable development by integrating social, economic and environmental issues in many countries. EcIA has a major part to play as a component of EIA but also has other potential applications in environmental planning and management. Ecological Impact Assessment provides a comprehensive review of the EcIA process and summarizes the ecological theories and tools that can be used to understand, explain and evaluate the ecological consequences of development proposals. It is intended for the many individuals and companies involved in EIA and EcIA, as well as other areas of environmental management where impacts on ecosystems need to be evaluated. It will benefit planners, regulators, environmental consultants and scientists and will also provide an invaluable sourcebook and guide for the growing number of undergraduate students taking courses in applied ecology, EIA and related topics in environmental science. A practical management guide for the increasing numbers of practitioners of EcIA. A rapidly expanding subject driven by the proliferation of environmental legislation worldwide.
