I was wondering if any of you have been involved with community residents or organizations participating in the risk analysis of brownfield sites. Basically, the community education and decision of determining "how clean is clean" or what is clean enough for the health and safety of end users and residents. I'm particularly interested in the siting of public use facilities such as Schools!. Yes, quite a controversial and exciting topic in LA these days. I guess the similar type of use would be parks, recreation areas and housing. I've been asked to do some community workshops on this education, participation, and decision-making aspect of the public health risk issue. I have been searching for literature and risk and decision analysis models. I know there are some sophisticated computer software engineers use, but was interested in something more cost effective and user-friendly (although I'm not assuming that the software are not, I just haven't seen them firsthand). I'd appreciate anyone pointing out some academic as well as more practical resources. Thank you in advance. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Allison J.
