A software integrating sophisticated transport analytical model, GIS, and human health risk assessment for comprehensive site evaluation of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents

Chlorinated solvents are common groundwater contaminants, their behavior as Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs) complicates remediation efforts, and their carcinogenic properties pose significant risks to human health. These highlight the urgent need for advanced tools to support site management and health risk assessment. This study enhances existing software MUSt by integrating advanced functionalities for managing and geographically visualizing the site-specific data, including the range of the contaminated site, geological and hydrological conditions, and contaminant distribution. Additionally, the human health risk assessment module has been expanded to consider multiple exposure pathways, further strengthening the software's ability to provide a comprehensive framework for site evaluation and decision-making. These advancements improve the efficiency of site management while enhancing risk communication, enabling more informed decisions and fostering better stakeholder engagement.
