Abstract
A methodology is produced for environmental and health risk assessment for road transports of hazardous material. The general risk management process with focus on health and environment is described briefly. Management systems, risk communication and uncertainty in the risk management process are also discussed in this context. The produced methodology is implemented in a case study in Iceland. The case study considers risks related to gasoline and diesel transports past a water protection area and a popular leisure fishing and recreational area. The endpoint for health is the water quality and for the environment effects on the game fish.
