| risk |
The probability of injury, disease, or death under specific circumstances. Risk can be expressed as a value that ranges from zero (no injury or harm will occur) to one hundred percent (harm or injury will definitely occur). Risk-based standards limit the risk that releasing a contaminant to the environment may pose rather than limiting the quantity that may be released.
