The risk assessment model and parameter system of groundwater pollution were established in this paper. The multi-index evaluation method of groundwater pollution sources was proposed, and the GIS-based risk assessment method of groundwater pollution was produced in comprehensive consideration of groundwater vulnerability and groundwater pollution sources. The multi-index method suggested in this paper was used in the risk assessment of groundwater pollution at a plain area of a big city in North China, and the different grades of groundwater pollution risk were computed. The evaluation results show that the groundwater pollution risk is determined by the combined action of ground pollution sources and groundwater vulnerability. The established risk assessment method of groundwater pollution could give a scientific support for the regional groundwater pollution prevention and control planning.

Abstract In recent years, ammonia leakage accidents occur frequently, which causes a great concern in China. Based on traditional risk analysis methods and the equipment characteristics, a risk evaluation method for small ammonia refrigeration units is proposed. The method includes a risk assessment model based on area division, a failure probability assessment method based on expert scoring system, a failure consequence assessment method based on regional population density and consequence mitigation measures, and a HAZOP risk correction method. Based on the proposed method, a risk assessment system of small ammonia refrigeration units is developed. This risk assessment method and system will provide a scientific basis to carry out the cold storage management in China.

In view of the shortcomings in the risk assessment of deep-buried tunnels, a dynamic risk assessment method based on a Bayesian network is proposed. According to case statistics, a total of 12 specific risk rating factors are obtained and divided into three types: objective factors, subjective factors, and monitoring factors. The grading criteria of the risk rating factors are determined, and a dynamic risk rating system is established. A Bayesian network based on this system is constructed by expert knowledge and historical data. The nodes in the Bayesian network are in one-to-one correspondence with the three types of influencing factors, and the probability distribution is determined. Posterior probabilistic and sensitivity analyses are carried out, and the results show that the main influencing factors obtained by the two methods are basically the same. The constructed dynamic risk assessment model is most affected by the objective factor rating and monitoring factor rating, followed by the subjective factor rating. The dynamic risk rating is mainly affected by the surrounding rock level among the objective factors, construction management among the subjective factors, and arch crown convergence and side wall displacement among the monitoring factors. The dynamic risk assessment method based on the Bayesian network is applied to the No. 3 inclined shaft of the Humaling tunnel. According to the adjustment of the monitoring data and geological conditions, the dynamic risk rating probability of level I greatly decreased from 81.7% to 33.8%, the probability of level II significantly increased from 12.3% to 34.0%, and the probability of level III increased from 5.95% to 32.2%, which indicates that the risk level has risen sharply. The results show that this method can effectively predict the risk level during tunnel construction.


Heavy metal pollution of agricultural soil has regional and long-term characteristics. Scientific and reasonable pollution assessment is the premise of environmental pollution risk control and subsequent remediation strategy. This paper lists the advantages and disadvantages of common pollution risk assessment methods, and puts forward the recommended methods and suggestions.

At present, the study of groundwater pollution risk assessment is generally based on the study of groundwater vulnerability. The impact of the pollutants themselves has not been paid more attention. The assessment of the risk of groundwater pollution should include two aspects: one is the contaminated nature of the aquifer itself and the other is spatial distribution of the pollutant. The vulnerability of the aquifer is only the natural susceptibility of the aquifer to the contaminant. Therefore, the risk assessment of groundwater pollution should also reflect the distribution and transport of pollutants in an aquifer. This study takes a tailings area as an example, and puts forward the risk assessment method of groundwater pollution based on physical processes. Before aquifer contamination occurs, the experts determine spatial distribution of each risk level according to the surrounding economic and social sensitivity conditions and hydrogeological conditions; and then use the numerical model to invert the intensity of the pollution source corresponding to each risk level. The results show that this method can express the distribution in space and time of risk level. For a single point source of contamination, this method is better than the previous based on aquifer vulnerability risk assessment method.

Introduction: Identifying occupational hazards and managing occupational safety and health risks has been the most important mission and responsibility of the health and safety management system in organizations and adopting coded plans to achieve this is the key to continuously improving this system and promoting it. The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal risk assessment methodology in development projects. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive-analytic research In this research, using previous research studies and collecting expert opinions, the most important criteria for selecting a specific risk assessment methodology, and then using one of the three most-used techniques is an important activity in the steel making industry and risk assessment. Then, the decision matrix is based on the strengths and weaknesses of the models. The prioritization of these three methods is done using the hierarchical analysis decision method. Results: In this paper, five key factors, the degree of application in identifying hazards, usability in different stages of risk assessment, reliability, ease of use, and training needs and costs, are identified as the most important criteria for choosing a risk assessment technique and the FMEA method was considered as the best  Risk Assessment Method. Conclusion: FMEA methodhas been introduced with regard to its capabilities as an optimal risk assessment method for contruction projects.
