It considers CRA in the USA, Europe and Germany, using case studies to analyze and exemplify the decision-making processes and challenges involved. The authors then go on to look at the practical lessons learned from these case studies, together with an in-depth discussion of the underlying scientific hypotheses.Sound scientific knowledge for everyone who makes decisions, whether government ministers, Risk assessmentEvaluationElectronic books.Risk assessment.Evaluation.658.155Schütz Holger975543MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144580803321Comparative risk assessment2221354UNINA
