Fuzzy Systems Modeling in Environmental and Health Risk Assessment

Demonstrates the successful application of fuzzy systems modeling to real-world environmental and health problems

In Fuzzy Systems Modeling in Environmental and Health Risk Assessment, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date collection of the most successful and innovative attempts to apply fuzzy logic to problems involving environmental risk assessment, healthcare decision-making, the management of water distribution networks, and the optimisation of water treatment and waste management systems.

By explaining both the theoretical and practical aspects of using fuzzy systems modeling methods to solve complex problems, analyse risks, and optimise system performance, this handy guide maintains a strongly application-oriented perspective throughout, offering readers a practical treatment of a cutting-edge subject.

Readers will also find:

  • Comprehensive explorations of the practical applications of fuzzy systems modeling in environmental science
  • Practical advice on environmental quality assessments and human health risk analyses
  • In-depth case studies involving air and water pollution, solid waste, indoor swimming pool and landfill risk assessments, wastewater treatment, and more

Perfect for environmental engineers and scientists, Fuzzy Systems Modeling in Environmental and Health Risk Assessment will also benefit policymakers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and researchers and practitioners interested in applying soft computing theories to environmental problems.
