Description: |
Population growth, needed economic growth, and social pressures for improved infrastructure coupled to the need
for human and ecological health protection and environmental security make environmental decision-making a
difficult task when balancing benefits and risks. Environmental security has emerged as an increasingly important
concern of governments and their defense establishments because of these trends that have the potential to
threaten stability. Risk Assessment has emerged as a useful tool to address environmental security issues.
However, the conceptual foundations of risk assessment are based in the fields of structural and nuclear
engineering and the environmental sciences related to chemical pollution and may not be easily applied to the
newly emergent threats.
