Texto completoTradizionalmente nella valutazione dei rischi per l’uomo e per l’ambiente, le relazioni spaziali tra le componenti dell’analisi di rischio e la distribuzione spaziale delle variabili coinvolte non vengono adeguatamente considerate, sebbene esse influiscono sulla valutazione dell’esposizione e quindi del rischio. In base alla scala di analisi, si possono identificare due approcci di analisi di rischio (AR): l’AR spaziale sito-specifica e l’AR regionale. Nella presente tesi di dottorato è stata sviluppata una procedura di AR spaziale sito-specifica che utilizza metodi di interpolazione spaziale per ottenere delle mappe di distribuzione della contaminazione al fine di supportare la zonizzazione del sito sulla base dei livelli di rischio. A scala regionale è stata sviluppata una metodologia innovativa che integra un approccio di AR relativo con analisi spaziali, per selezionare i siti dove le attività di caratterizzazione sono urgentemente richieste. Le due metodologie sono state implementate rispettivamente in DESYRE (DEcision Support sYstem for the REqualification of contaminated sites) e in SYRIADE (Spatial decision support sYstem for Regional rIsk Assessment of DEgraded land) e applicate al sito di Porto Marghera e alla regione dell’Upper Silesia.

Texto completoIncludes bibliographical references (p. 165-171).
Risk management has gained a significant amount of attention from both policy makers and the public over the past thirty years, as the interaction of technology and policy choices become more predominant in the evaluation of trade-offs in a democratic society. This is particularly so in decisions regarding the management, disposal and clean up of hazardous wastes throughout the United States. The responsible agency must balance the multiple elements of risk, multiple and conflicting objectives, and stakeholder values and perceptions inherent in environmental decisions in order to meet social needs, while maintaining the integrity of both the technical and social aspects of that decision. The National Research Council (1996) has recommended that the responsible agency incorporate all relevant stakeholders in the decision making process from the start, specifying an analytical-deliberative process for dealing with decisions that involve substantial risk analysis and assessment. The basic premise of this recommendation is that by involving the stakeholders in the process from the beginning and simultaneously performing the necessary risk assessments, taking into account the stakeholder values in an analytic-deliberative method, the decision making process can be enhanced. The concept of bringing together multiple stakeholders in environmental decision making attempts to address the fact that past decisions have neglected stakeholder values, however, by bringing together the multiple stakeholders, the agency is faced with numerous other challenges. These challenges include:: communicating and characterizing risk, unreasonable expectations, selecting of stakeholders, utilizing of time and resources efficiently, providing access to resources, addressing stakeholder concerns, and defining consensus. In order to aid in this process, this work investigates the integration of risk assessment and stakeholder involvement in reaching a fair, wise, efficient and stable decision concerning environmental remediation. We propose an integration of stakeholder values and risk assessments using a combination of mathematical and decision analysis tools which culminate in a ranking of the remediation alternatives. From this integration, we devise strategies for a consensual deliberation that focus on the interests of the stakeholders while simultaneously account for the technical issues. This work presents the results of such an integration and details the formulation of strategies.

Texto completoSmåskaliga jordbrukare är goda entreprenörer som samlat på sig kunskaper och erfarenheter över flera generationer. Däremot är vissa metoder som jordbrukarna använder sig av idag för att förvalta sitt jordbruk inte anpassade till nutida klimatförändringar. För att jordbrukarna ska förstå riskerna som de åtar sig vid valet av dessa metoder försöker forskare vid TU Delft nu ta fram ett verktyg för att underlätta jordbrukares förmåga att ta självständiga men välgrundade beslut om sitt jordbruk. Verktyget är baserat på en socio-hydrologisk modell som är framtagen i Python och som förser specifika investerings- och inkomstdata för enskilda jordbrukare. Syftet med detta kandidatarbete är att bidra till verktyget genom att undersöka de hydroklimatiska risker som uppstår till följd av föränderliga och osäkra klimatologiska förhållanden för jordbrukare i delstaten Maharashtra, Indien. Två riskfaktorer karakteriserades baserat på en litteraturstudie om indiska jordbrukares riskuppfattningar: avvikelser i starten på den indiska sommarmonsunen och antal torrperioder under monsunsäsongen. Dessutom utfördes en känslighetsanalys för att undersöka om och hur den existerande modellens utdata av skörd påverkades av de valda riskfaktorerna. Monsunstarten och torrperioderna togs fram genom metoder som enbart använde historiska nederbördsdata över tidsperioden 2003-2016 och kombinerades sedan med hjälp av en tvådimensionell riskmatris. Resultaten visade att det fanns anledning att ifrågasätta hur torrperioderna definierades och att det kan vara mer fördelaktigt att undersöka vattenbrist för grödan, snarare än att enbart förlita sig på nederbördsdata. Vidare föreslog denna studie en metod för att översätta en kumulativ fördelningsfunktion till en grafisk riskframställning som är anpassad till användare med låg läskunnighet genom att kombinera siffror med text, grafik, färg och ljudförklaringar. I slutändan kan dock inte användbarheten av verktyget enbart avgöras utifrån litteratur, utan måste även inkludera återkoppling från slutanvändarna.

Texto completoStora volymer förorenade sediment kommer att behöva tas om hand under de kommande åren då bottensediment i svenska farleder, hamn- och kustområden under lång tid har konta–minerats av både tungmetaller och organiska föroreningar. I examensarbetet studeras fyra möjligheter för hantering av förorenade muddermassor. De tre traditionella metoderna är tippning till havs, utfyllnad i vik eller deponering på land. Stabilisering/solidifiering (s/s) är ytterligare ett alternativ som innebär att muddermassorna kan nyttiggöras i geokonstruktioner genom att massornas hållfasthet ökas. Metoden går ut på att muddermassorna blandas med bindemedel och de eventuella föroreningarna binds då in i matrisen genom kemisk reaktion och fysikalisk inneslutning. Syftet med examensarbetet är att, utifrån ett platsspecifikt perspektiv, undersöka hur föroreningsrisker kan jämföras mellan de fyra olika huvud–alternativen för hantering av muddermassor. Jämförelsen är tänkt att utgöra en del av ett beslutsunderlag som ska ligga till grund för valet av hanteringsalternativ.
Arbetet har fokuserat på miljöriskanalys och främst på hur risker kan kategoriseras, värderas och jämföras. Metoden inkluderar en litteraturstudie, en undersökning av tillstånds–ansökningar för hamnutbyggnad, en fallstudie där användning av LCA-metodik, ”ekotoxicitetspotential” och Naturvårdsverkets riktvärdesmodell testats för att jämföra föroreningsrisker mellan olika hanteringsalternativ i Oxelösunds hamn. Avslutningsvis genomfördes en serie intervjuer kring temat karaktärisering och jämförelser av risk i en s.k. Stakeholder Opinion Assessment (SOA).
I studien av tillståndsansökningarna för hamnutbyggnad konstaterades att jämförelser av platsspecifika föroreningsrisker mellan olika hanteringsalternativ för förorenade mudder–massor inte görs. Istället är det andra aspekter, t.ex. ekonomi, som avgör vilket alternativ som väljs. Varken ekotoxicitetspotential eller Naturvårdsverkets riktvärdesmodell visade sig vara lämpliga metoder för att beskriva och jämföra risker i det aktuella fallet. Av intervjuerna i SOA:n framgår att det råder delade meningar om hur risker ska beskrivas och på vilket sätt de kan jämföras och det finns ett stort behov av att utveckla nya sätt att beskriva och jämföra föroreningsrisker mellan olika alternativ och olika platser.
Arbetet har visat att det finns ett behov av att utveckla miljöriskanalysens avslutande steg, riskkaraktärisering och riskvärdering, eftersom det idag inte finns några konkreta metoder för att jämföra föroreningsrisker mellan olika hanteringsalternativ för förorenade muddermassor. För att förbättra beslutsunderlag föreslås därför en tydligare problemformulering och att övergripande platsspecifika scenarion för de olika alternativen tas fram. Viktigt aspekter att tydliggöra är skyddsobjekt, tidsskala, spridning och exponering. Jämförelsen av platsspecifika föroreningsrisker får inte heller bli allt för detaljerad, eftersom den bara är en del av ett större beslutsunderlag.
Large amounts of contaminated sediment has to be taken care of within the next few years since the sediment in Swedish sea lanes, ports and coastal areas have been contaminated by both heavy metals and organic pollutants over a long time period. Four options for handling contaminated dredged material were studied within this master thesis project. The three traditional methods are dumping the dredged material at sea, filling a bay with dredged material or putting the dredged material on a land disposal. Stabilization/solidification (s/s) is another option, where the contaminated dredged sediments are mixed with a binder that gives them greater strength, while immobilizing contaminants through chemical reactions or physical confinement in the structure. The aim of this thesis is to examine how risks of contamination can be compared between the four main options for management of dredged materials, in a site-specific perspective.
The main tool in the project has been environmental risk assessment with special focus on how risks can be categorized, measured and compared. The study includes a literature review, an examination of permit applications for port development, a case study where the LCA methodology, "potential eco-toxicity" and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's guideline value model was tested in order to compare the risks of contamination from the various management options in the port of Oxelösund. Finally a Stakeholder Opinion Assessment (SOA), by the theme risk characterization and risk comparison, was made.
The study of permit applications for port expansion has shown that the site-specific risks of contamination are not considered when choosing between management options of dredged materials. Instead other aspects, such as economy, determine the option chosen. Neither potential of eco-toxicity or the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's guideline value model proved to be appropriate methods in order to describe and compare the risks associates with this case. The interviews in the SOA show that people disagree on how risks should be described and compared. There is a demand for new methods of describing and comparing risks associated with different management options for dredged materials at different sites.
This work has shown that well-known methods on how to compare risks of contamination between the different management options for contaminated dredged materials do not exist. There is also a need of developing the latter steps in the environmental risk assessment. To develop a better decision basis, a more explicit definition of the problem is proposed. It is particularly important to make site-specific descriptions of the various systems to be compared. The comparison of the site-specific risks of contamination should not be too detailed, since it is part of a larger decision support.

Texto completoDuring the last five years, successful mine closure has become one of Iscor Coal Business primary strategic focus areas. Three Iscor Coalmines are currently in different stages of closure, i.e. North Field, Hlobane and Dumacol and the demand on management time spent on this issue is increasing. The changing legal environment, especially issues concerning rehabilitation and mine closure, demands that every company must take full responsibility for any detrimental effect that their operations may have on the environment. This study concerns itself with establishing a generic procedure for mine closure. The interface with all stakeholders, external and internal, is considered. The primary focus areas are determined and the most important issues within each area are discussed in such a way that operational managers and strategists could use it as base knowledge for future closures. Applying the model to an actual closure process, i.e. the closure of Durnacol Coalmine, tested the validity of the model and it was verified that the process could be used as a base for future reference.

Texto completoObjective: The purpose of this work was to provide subsidies for formulating public policies based on risk assessment for pesticide management, focusing on the current national technical procedures for the registration of pesticide products and on the requirements regarding risk assessment of two international agreements on chemical substances. Results: Chemical substances management is not centralized, with no defined action guidelines, and is conducted in view of the substances risks individually considered At least fourteen federal institutions work on pesticide management. The unilateral performance of most institutions leads to a fragmented legislation, poorly implemented due to lack of coordination. The State is responsible for implementing the legislation, either supervising the defined emission patterns or restricting and prohibiting them. Despite the existence of legal framework, it does not ensure that society is being benefited, once the lack of official data and the reduced amount of scientific inquiry on the subject make the analysis difficult. The main governmental organs involved in pesticide management are the Health, Environment and Agriculture Ministries, which are also responsible for issuing registration certificates. Other ministries have parallel management activities, as it is the case of the Transport and Work Ministries. The parameters for registration are essentially the evaluation of environmental hazard and toxicological potential, as well as the risk assessment activity. In spite of being quoted in the main management document, the assessment activities are not implemented or discussed on solid basis. The studies guiding the decisions on the registration are not published. In order to implement the conventions, the country has to change its reference for decision taking. Conclusions: (1) The Brazilian federal institutions act independently and elaborate legal procedures on subjects under their responsibility, with the State being responsible for the definition of safety parameters. (2) The excessive fragmentation of the legislation on chemical substances obstructs the definition about whether implementing the management policies benefits society or not. (3) The legislation in which pesticide control is based on is technically updated. However, the management performed is far behind the scope of the legislation. (4) The scientific concept of risk is ignored in most legal documents concerning the management of chemical substances in Brazil. (5) The existing legal framework enables the implementation of health and environmental risk assessment related to pesticide management. (6) If the country is to use risk as a reference for pesticide management, its institutional infrastructure should assume a more comprehensive and integrated perspective, promoting the generation of multi referential data and figures. (7) The current decision taking procedures in Brazil do not meet the demands concerning the assessment of risks established by PIC and POPs Conventions.

Resumo: Durante as últimas décadas a demografia discutiu importantes conceitos ao tratar da relação entre dinâmica populacional e mudança ambiental. Surgiram novos caminhos, buscando compreender essa relação em análises centradas no entendimento do papel do espaço, dos padrões de produção e consumo, do risco e da vulnerabilidade. Recentemente, com a confirmação das estimativas das mudanças climáticas, a demografia é novamente desafiada a elucidar os elementos da dinâmica populacional que afetam o clima e que por ela são afetados. Nessa pesquisa objetiva-se compreender elementos desse segundo ponto, analisando riscos ambientais às mudanças climáticas em populações residentes em zonas costeiras. Mais especificamente, analisamos a dinâmica de três municípios costeiros do Estado de São Paulo, na Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista: Bertioga, Guarujá e São Vicente. Tais municípios, majoritariamente urbanos, abrigam espaços diferenciados e desiguais, tanto do ponto de vista geográfico como social. Geograficamente, a presença de morros, rios, estuários e do próprio mar, condicionam a formação de riscos ambientais diferenciados. Socialmente, com a ocupação dos espaços para usos diversos (residenciais, turísticos e industriais), e por grupos com perfis sócio-econômicos particulares, cada um desses riscos atinge populações também específicas. A partir desses fatores a hipótese do trabalho é que populações com características distintas passam por diferentes riscos ambientais. Desse modo, os riscos que selecionamos são relativos às mudanças ambientais: a elevação do nível do mar, as inundações e os deslizamentos. Para cada um desses riscos, e de suas possíveis combinações, foram criadas zonas de risco, utilizando os dados de setores censitários. Os resultados indicaram a confirmação da nossa hipótese: populações mais pobres estão nas imediações de corpos d'água e morros, áreas onde a possibilidade das intensificações de inundações e deslizamentos é maior, enquanto as mais ricas localizam-se próximas ao mar, onde o maior risco é o da elevação do nível médio do mar
Abstract: Demography has discussed important concepts in concern with the relation between population dynamics and environmental change through last decades. New ways were developed and the role of space, patterns of production and consumption, risk and vulnerability were incorporated in theses analysis. Recently, with more accuracy estimates of climate change, demography is again challenged to elucidate the elements of population dynamics that affect climate and vice-versa. This research aims to understand this elements, analyzing risks of climate change on populations living in coastal areas. More specifically, we analyze the dynamics of three coastal municipalities of Sao Paulo State, in the Metropolitan Area of Baixada Santista: Bertioga, Guarujá and São Vicente. These municipalities, mostly urban, harbor differentiated and uneven spaces, both geographically and socially. Geographically, the presence of hills, rivers, estuaries and the sea, influence different environmental risks. Socially, space has been transformed according to several social uses (residential, tourist and industrial), resulting in specific groups, with particular socio-economic profiles, living in distinct risks zones. Based on these factors, the hypothesis adopted is that populations with different characteristics are replaced by different environmental risks. Therefore, the risks selected represent some of the environmental changes dangers: rising sea levels, more intensive flooding and landslides. For each of these risks, and their possible combinations were created risk areas, using data from census tracts. The results indicated the poorest are in the vicinity of ponds and hills, where the possibility of intensification of floods and landslides is higher, while the richest are sited near sea, where the greatest risk is the elevation of the average sea level
