Hydraulic conductivity is the most important hydrogeologic parameter, with a strong influence on the flux and contaminant transport processes in ground water. In order to verify the influences of this parameter on health risk estimation, the Probabilistic Risk Assessment process was applied to a real study case utilizing the stochastic method most widely used in science, the Monte Carlo method. For this purpose, the pathway of dermal contact exposure to surface water during swimming was considered and the stochastic risk was evaluated. The stochastic analysis results revealed a difference of six orders of magnitude between the minimum and maximum estimated values and two orders of magnitude for the real risk value, indicating the dimension of the uncertainties. The model sensibility analysis demonstrated that contaminant concentration is the parameter of highest correlation with risk, revealing the influence of hydraulic conductivity on the stochastic model uncertainties. Key-words: Monte Carlo method, probabilistic risk assessment, stochastic risk estimation.
