Expert judgment of environmental health risks from exposures to contaminants in urban water systems

可持续的城市供水政策要求对城市供水系统中暴露于许多污染物的健康和环境风险采取知情的风险管理程序。这项研究与国家水质管理战略和饮用水和循环水国家指南相结合；它显示了社区成功采用新的可持续水技术的障碍。在模拟专家意见方面的技术进步将有助于改进整个政府的标准化风险评估框架。这项研究是监管机构、供应商和管理人员更好地决策的基础，它将影响国际上制定类似的可持续城市用水指导方针。

Sustainable urban water policy requires informed risk management procedures for health and environmental risks from exposures to many contaminants in urban water systems. This research articulates with the National Water Quality Management Strategy and national guidelines for drinking and recycled water; and it shows barriers to successful community adoption of new sustainable water technologies. Technical advances in modelling expert opinion will contribute to improved standardised risk assessment frameworks throughout government. The research is fundamental for better decision-making for regulators, suppliers, and managers and it will influence the international development of similar guidelines for sustainable urban water use.
