To quantitatively evaluate the potential risk associated with different kinds of contaminants, such as heavy metals, VOCs, mineral oils and agricultural chemicals, and a variety of environmental problems, such as soil and groundwater pollution, landfill of hazardous wastes and geological storage of CO2, etc., a comprehensive software package entitled Geo-Environmental Risk Assessment System: GERAS has been developed and continuously improved.
GERAS-3 combines 3-dimensional, multicomponent, multiphase mass transport simulation together with quantitative risk assessment. To facilitate different applications, GERAS-3 has 3 versions as follows (note that most link sites are in Japanese only):
