contamination and remediation goals definitions. Chlorinated solvents
have a high toxicity for humans, even at low concentrations, and are
important soil and groundwater pollutants. The main objective of this
work is to assess the human health risk derived of exposition to a
contaminated groundwater using a commercial Risk Analysis model
(RBCA) and taking into consideration different exposure factors. A
case study was used. Some risk differences were observed using
specific exposure factors in different countries, which were explained
by differences in life style
