| environ. | anàlisi de risc-benefici | risk-benefit analysis A systematic process of evaluating and assessing the hazards of loss versus the possibility of financial gain or profit |
| environ. | anàlisi del risc | risk analysis Technique used to determine the likelihood or chance of hazardous events occurring (such as release of a certain quantity of a toxic gas) and the likely consequences. Originally developed for use in nuclear and chemical industry where certain possible events, of low probability, could have extremely serious results. Attempts are being made to use concepts from probabilistic risk analysis to characterise environmental impacts, whose occurrence and nature are not easy to predict with any degree of accuracy |
| environ. | anàlisi del risc natural | natural risk analysis Analysis of the probability of occurrence, within a specific period of time in a given area, of a potentially damaging phenomenon of nature |
