Hello, I have a question about the CSF factor for the Montecarlo risk assessment. Is the CSF Factor for the Evaluation of the Heavy Metal Carcinogenic Risk in the Monte Carlo Method for All Metals and a Valid Source to Find This Factor If You Can?
Well,
Potential Ecological Risk Index )Eir Eir = Tir × Cif …………………………………………………………...(1) where,
Tir is the toxic response factor for a given heavy metal, Cif is the contamination factor. Toxic response factor ( Tir) proposed by Hakanson Pb, Cu, Ni, Mn, Zn, As and Co have toxic response factor of 5,5,5,1,1,10 and 5 respectively. The potential ecological risk (Eir) of heavy metals is classified into five levels according to Eir:
