Abstract
This study compared four health risk assessment models, RISC-HUMAN, SOILIRISK, SNV-model and RISC and one analytical contaminant transport model ConSim used in Finland. In addition, experiments were done on the program linking spatial data to risk assessment. To determine the differences and similarities of results from risk assessment and contaminant transport models, they were used with input data obtained from three case study test sites. The test sites were service station, a landfill area contaminated with chlorinated organic substances and an industrial estate. The calculated indoor and outdoor concentrations differed less than one order of magnitude. The biggest differences were in the calculation of groundwater concentration. Significantly lower concentrations were obtained by using RISC than the other risk assessment model containing a groundwater migration option or the ConSim. SNV's model predicted the highest concentration that deviated from concentrations obtained by RISC, by at most two orders of magnitude, and concentrations calculated by SOILIRISK by less than one order of magnitude.
