U.S. EPA may list a waste as hazardous for any and all of the above reasons. The majority of listed wastes fall into the toxic waste category. To decide if a waste should be a toxic listed waste, U.S. EPA first determines whether it typically contains harmful chemical constituents. An appendix to RCRA contains a list of chemical compounds or elements that scientific studies have shown to have toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic effects on humans or other life forms. If a waste contains chemical constituents found on the appendix list, U.S. EPA then evaluates 11 other factors to determine if the wastestream is likely to pose a threat in the absence of special restrictions on its handling. These additional considerations include a risk assessment and study of past cases of damage caused by the waste. 

The assessment of air pollution in the Central Asian region is of great significance for environmental risk estimates. Case study countries, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are located in Central Asia and have long boundaries with China, the Asian part of Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Emissions from these countries as well as the... 

The second part comprises the Appendices, which contain the Risk Characterization Policy, the risk characterization case studies, and references. The case studies contain examples of risk characterizations from risk assessments that apply the principles described in the Risk Characterization Guide.

Additionally, the EPA pubhshes a newsletter entitled Pollution Prevention News that contains information including EPA news, technologies, program updates, and case studies. The EPA s Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratoiy and the Center for Environmental Research Information has pubhshed several guidance documents, developed in cooperation with the California Department of Health Services. The manuals supplement generic waste reduction information presented in the EPA s Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual (Ref. 9). 

THE ROLE OF HUMAN RELIABILITY IN RISK ASSESSMENT 5.2.1. An Illustrative Case Study... 

Because most research effort in the human reliability domain has focused on the quantification of error probabilities, a large number of techniques exist. However, a relatively small number of these techniques have actually been applied in practical risk assessments, and even fewer have been used in the CPI. For this reason, in this section only three techniques will be described in detail. More extensive reviews are available from other sources (e.g., Kirwan et al., 1988 Kirwan, 1990 Meister, 1984). Following a brief description of each technique, a case study will be provided to illustrate the application of the technique in practice. As emphasized in the early part of this chapter, quantification has to be preceded by a rigorous qualitative analysis in order to ensure that all errors with significant consequences are identified. If the qualitative analysis is incomplete, then quanhfication will be inaccurate. It is also important to be aware of the limitations of the accuracy of the data generally available... 

Tliis part of tlie book reviews and develops quantitative metliods for tlie analysis of liazard conditions in terms of the frequency of occurrence of unfavorable consequences. Uncertainty characterizes not only Uie transformation of a liazard into an accident, disaster, or catastrophe, but also tlie effects of such a transformation. Measurement of uncertainty falls witliin tlie purview of matliematical probability. Accordingly, Chapter 19 presents fundamental concepts and Uieorems of probability used in risk assessment. Chapter 20 discusses special probability distributions and teclmiques pertinent to risk assessment, and Chapter 21 presents actual case studies illustrating teclmiques in liazard risk assessment tliat use probability concepts, tlieorems, and special distributions. 

Tlie following simplified example, constructed by Hendershot, will facilitate tlie transition to tlie case studies. Suppose tliat a risk assessment is being conducted at a chemical plant to detenuine the consequences of two incidents (tlie initiating events of die event tree shown in Fig. 21.1.1) defined as...
