of a specific situation or environment identifies hazards and provides information to policy makers that can be used in evaluating the need for possibly formulating new regulations to address these
risks (Nyman, Butterfield and Shreffler-Grant, 2009). There are four steps in Environment Risk Assessment. The first step is to identify hazards that may have an adverse effect if the
