ReasOnable Maximum Exposure - ROME 2.1
APAT software ROME ver.2.1 represents a decision support tool
for the assessment and management of risks associated to
contaminated sites.
ROME ver.2.1 adopts a two-tiers (screening and site-specific)
risk analysis derived by the ASTM Standards RBCA (Risk-Based
Corrective Actions).
The tiers of analysis are:
- Tier 1: Comparison with legal contaminant concentration limits
of Decree n°471/99 and comparison with Risk-Based Screening
Values;
- Tier 2: Site specific risk analysis and calculation of
remediation objectives for contaminated soil and groundwater.
ROME ver.2.1 guides along the definition of the Conceptual Site
Model and to the input of site-specific environmental and exposure
parameters.
ROME envisages human health exposure scenarios for two land uses
of the site (residential/green areas and industrial/commercial) and
the assessment of risks, produced by soil contamination, to surface
water and groundwater receptors.
It includes physical/chemical and toxicological databases for
118 substances and default values for exposure and environmental
parameters. All parameters can be updated.
