Abstract
A methodology is provided for the analysis of health risk from environmental contamination. The methodology uses new systems analysis tools: a combined probabilistic/fuzzy set approach to address uncertainties common to health risk analysis. A multicriterion decision making methodology, called Composite Programming, is recommended to trade-off cost of control and health risk.
