| Long description: |
Environmental risk assessment is increasinglyused in decision-making process to minimize the effects of human activities on the environment. However, environmental data is often vague and imprecise, introducing an element of uncertainty into this form of assessment. This uncertainty may have two origins – randomness and incompleteness - and this paper discusses two means by which these can be overcome, namely probability theory and fuzzy logic. Examples of their application to environmental risk assessment are provided.
