- Statistical evaluation based on the experience of studying similar situations.
- Expert review
Formula for calculating environmental risk
The impact on the environment can be very simplified by considering the following factors:
P e = P t + P in + P f + P tv , where:
R t - technological impact on the env. Wednesday,
P in - the impact on the env. air emission environment
R W - the effect on the env. liquid discharge medium
R tv - the impact on the env. solid waste medium.
