IBM compatible computers with 348k of RAMHazardous waste facility risk analyzer TOXIC is a microcomputer program that calculates the incremental risk to the hypothetical maximum exposed individual (MEI) from hazardous waste incineration. The program provides menu-driven screens for creating, modifying, displaying, and managing waste stream and facility information. In this way, the program offers a variety of special features for specifying the numerous attributes associated with hazardous waste combustion.To perform an analysis, one or more waste stream descriptions and one or more facility descriptions must be accessible to the program. These descriptions can either be previously created files, which are retrieved from stored files, or newly created files. Retrieved descriptions can be altered before running an analysis. The auxiliary menus provide a well-documented, easily implemented procedure for creating and retrieving files that describe most aspects of the waste stream and facility design and operation. A current data display on the main menu shows those files that are presently loaded into the program.
