Epidemiologists write books on how risk assessment is used to explore the factors that influence the distribution of disease in populations of people. Toxicologists write books on how risk assess­ ment involves exposing animals to risk agents and concluding from the results what risks people might experience if similarly exposed. Engineers write books on how risk assessment is utilized to estimate the risks of constructing a new facility such as a nuclear power plant. Statisticians write books on how risk assessment may be used to analyze mortality or accident data to determine risks. There are already many books on risk assessment-the trouble is that they all seem to be about different sUbjects! This book takes another approach. It brings together all the methods for assessing risk into a common framework, thus demonstrating how the various methods relate to one another. This produces four important benefits: • First, it provides a comprehensive reference for risk assessment. This one source offers readers concise explanations of the many methods currently available for describing and quantifying diverse types of risks. • Second, it consistently evaluates and compares available risk assessment methods and identifies their specific strengths and limitations. Understand­ ing the limitations of risk assessment methods is important. The field is still in its infancy, and the problems with available methods are disappoint­ ingly numerous. At the same time, risk assessment is being used.Environmental managementPublic healthRisksAssessmentHealth risk assessmentEvaluationHealth risk assessmentMethodologyEnvironmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Public Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002Environmental management.Public healthRisksAssessment.Health risk assessmentEvaluation.Health risk assessmentMethodology.Environmental Management.Public Health.333.7Covello Vincent Tauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut119333Merkhofer Miley W.1947-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910823193303321Risk assessment methods4017656UNINA
