"The results of this process may be expressed in a quantitative or qualitative fashion. Risk assessment is an inherent part of a broader risk management strategy to help reduce any potential risk-related consequences."
The process of evaluating and quantifying the likelihood and consequences of harm from exposure to environmental hazards.
Hazard identification: The process of identifying potential hazards that could cause harm to human health or the environment.
Exposure assessment: The process of determining how much exposure an individual or group has to a particular hazard.
Toxicology: The study of the toxic effects of chemicals and other substances on living organisms.
Risk characterization: The process of combining hazard identification, exposure assessment, and toxicology to determine the level of risk associated with a particular hazard.
Risk management: The process of making decisions about how to control or reduce risk, including the use of regulatory measures, risk communication, and risk reduction strategies.
Environmental monitoring: The process of measuring and monitoring the environment for potential hazards, including pollutants, toxins, and other harmful substances.
Epidemiology: The study of the distribution and determinants of health and disease in human populations, and the application of this knowledge to the prevention and control of health problems.
Emergency preparedness: The process of preparing for and responding to emergencies and disasters, including natural disasters, chemical spills, and terrorist attacks.
Contaminant transport modeling: The use of mathematical models to predict the movement and fate of contaminants in the environment.
Health impact assessment: The process of assessing the potential health effects of proposed policies, programs, or projects before they are implemented.
Human Health Risk Assessment: This type of risk assessment is used to evaluate the risk associated with exposure to chemicals, pathogens, radiation, or other substances and hazards in the environment.
Ecological Risk Assessment: This assessment is used to evaluate the risk to non-human organisms in the environment, including plants, animals, and ecosystems.
Exposure Assessment: This type of risk assessment is used to evaluate the amount and duration of exposure to a hazardous substance or agent, often used in conjunction with human health or ecological risk assessment.
Hazard Identification: This assessment is used to identify whether a substance, agent, or activity is hazardous or poses a potential risk to human health or the environment.
Risk Perception Assessment: This type of assessment is used to evaluate the public's perception of a hazard, and their willingness to accept and manage the risks associated with it.
Risk Communication Assessment: This assessment is used to evaluate how risk information is communicated to stakeholders, including the public, industry, and policymakers.
Risk Management: This assessment evaluates the options and effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce or mitigate the risks identified in a risk assessment.
"Risk assessment determines possible mishaps, their likelihood and consequences, and the tolerances for such events."
"The results of this process may be expressed in a quantitative or qualitative fashion."
"Risk assessment identifies and analyses potential (future) events that may negatively impact individuals, assets, and/or the environment (i.e. hazard analysis)."
"Risk assessment is an inherent part of a broader risk management strategy to help reduce any potential risk-related consequences."
"It identifies and analyses potential (future) events that may negatively impact individuals, assets, and/or the environment (i.e. hazard analysis)."
"It makes judgments 'on the tolerability of the risk on the basis of a risk analysis' while considering influencing factors (i.e. risk evaluation)."
