Tiivistelmä
The thesis work was written in cooperation with Taratest Oy to develop the quality and competence of the environmental department. The thesis is divided into two parts. There is a theoretical part and a practical part. This includes case studies and other literature.
This thesis aimed to gain insight into the risk assessment of contaminated soil to improve the analysis process of risk assessment. This study focuses on identifying different risk assessment models to identify risk assessment processes and provide a better understanding of the use of risk assessment of contaminated soil. This study compared various risk assessments of contaminated soil models to evaluate risk analysis methods. Taratest Oy selected a suitable risk assessment model for the company. In this case, the model chosen was PIRTU eco-efficiency tool.
The thesis introduces the environmental legislation relating to contaminated soil and groundwater and presents the general objectives and methodology of risk assessment for contaminated soil. Also, in the literature part, the thesis offers a variety of different computational risk assessment methods tools according to the various organizational needs.
Two different cases were used to utilize the PIRTU eco-efficiency tool in the practical thesis part. The research methodology consists of the analyses of each case study separately, each the following case studies to carry out a site-specific risk assessment. Based on the outcome, tools can be used to compare different remediation methods and identify the most significant impacts on a site. The analysis results included health risks, environmental impacts, groundwater, and other social impacts. The results can be used to justify choices in the decision-making process during the remediation planning phase.
