Here you can find a number of case studies where the KQA tools introduced in this area have been applied to actual policy problems.
NUSAP analysis of VOC emissions from paint
An application of the NUSAP method to the case of emission monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds from paint in the Netherlands. It demonstrates the use of sensitivity analysis and the Pedigree matrix to assess parameter strength.
Monte Carlo analyisis of uncertainties in greenhouse gas emission inventories
This case study describes the application of Monte Carlo Analysis to quantify uncertainty in the Netherlands greenhouse gas emission inventories as reported by the Netherlands government to the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Application of model quality checklist to TIMER Energy model
This case study demonstrates the application of the model quality checklist to TIMER Energy model. The TIMER model is one of the six models used for the IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenario's
Expert elicitation of health risks of Ultra Fine Particles
This case study describes the applciation of Expert Elicitation techniques to assess causal pathways by which Ultra Fine Particles (Particles < 100 nanometer; PM 0.1) may cause health damage to humans. It also describes the elicitation of a quantified dose-response relationship.
External costs of nuclear energy: a pedigree analysis of assumptions
This case study demonstrates the tool of assumprion analysis and the pedigree matrix for assessing assumptions to the case of externalities of Nuclear Energy.
Pedigree analysis of assumptions of environmental health risk indicator (ozone)
This case study shows the application of pedigree analysis to a vehement controversy on the health risks of a waste incinerator near Antwerp (Belgium).
Pedigree analysis of the health risks of a waste incinerator
This case study demonstrates the tool of assumprion analysis and the pedigree matrix for assessing assumptions to the case of composite indicator for Environmental Health, used in Dutch policy making.
NUSAP analysis of the TIMER energy model
This case study demonstrates the application of teh NUSAP method to a complex Enegry model. It combines global sensitivity analysis (Morris) with Pedigree analysis of model paramers.
Uncertainties in risk estimations of electromagnetic fields of overhead power lines
This case study demonstrates the application of the uncertainty matrix to characterize uncertainties in risk assessment of healh risks of exposure of children to Electomagnetic Fields from overhead power lines.
Each case study has links to documents describing the case study in full and some also include insider materials such as the detailled protocol that was used during a specific KQA workshop for that case.
