Human Health Risk
Assessment
This section provides guidance for developing human health risk information for
exposures to contaminated sediments related to the disposal of dredged material.
This guidance follows USEPA human health risk assessment guidance
documents and manuals. Individuals conducting or evaluating human health risks
should be familiar with the guidance contained in:
a. Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund, Volume I, Human Health
Evaluation Manual (Part A), Interim Final (USEPA/Office of Emergency
and Remedial Response (OERR) 1989a)
b. Assessing Human Health Risks from Chemically Contaminated Fish and
Shellfish (USEPA/Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection and Water
Regulations and Standards (OMEP) 1989)
c. Addendum to Methodology for Assessing Health Risks Associated with
Indirect Exposure to Combustor Emissions (USEPA/Office of Health and
Environmental Assessment (OHEA) 1993-Review Draft)
d. Guidance for Assessing Chemical Contaminant Data for use in Fish
Advisories. Volume I: Fish Sampling and Analysis (USEPA/Office of
Science and Technology (OST) 1993)
e. Guidance for Assessing Chemical Contaminant Data for use in Fish
Advisories. Volume II: Risk Assessment and Fish Consumption Limits
(USEPA/OST 1994)
f. Methodology for Estimating Population Exposures from the Consumption
of Chemically Contaminated Fish (USEPA/Offices of Policy, Planning and
Evaluation, and Research and Development 1991)
The following subsections are organized to conform to the four basic
components of human- health risk assessment: Hazard Identification, Exposure
Assessment, Toxicity Assessment, and Risk Characterization.
