Identifying hazards, assessing the risks
Veterinary Record, 2005Recognising the emergence of a zoonosis or a new disease requires a multiagency approach. Amanda Walsh and Dilys Morgan discuss the work of the Human Animal Infections Risks and Surveillance ( HAIRS ) group in identifying and assessing the risks of zoonotic infections in England and Wales

Quantitative Seismic Hazard Assessment
2007We analyze the ingredients required for deterministic wave propagation simulation in order to estimate more accurately ground motion in terms of amplitude, frequency content and duration. Building maps of expected ground motion before a catastrophic event for various scenarios may help design ways to mitigate impacts of ground vibrations as well as ...

An assessment of the Hazards of lead in food
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1992Exposure to lead (Pb) continues to be a source of concern for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other federal regulatory agencies. Blood lead levels as low as 10 micrograms Pb/dl have been associated with impaired neurobehavioral development in children and infants.

Environmental Hazard Assessment of Pharmaceuticals
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1997The pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical metabolites salicylic acid, paracetamol, clofibrinic acid, and methotrexate were examined with regard to their biological degradability and toxicity toward algae, Daphnia, fish embryos, luminescent bacteria, ciliates, and the fish cell line BF-2.

The myth of the final hazard assessment
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1990Hazard assessment is a basic tool used in the evaluation and regulation of chemicals, but in spite of this there are many different interpretations of the scope and function of a hazard assessment. Starting from a discussion of the essential elements and conceptual frames involved, an attempt is made to identify the sources of uncertainty that are ...

Hazard assessment in freshwater ecosystems
Toxicology Letters, 1992Hazard assessment of chemicals in freshwater environments depends on comparing concentrations that are expected to occur in water and sediment, i.e. expected environmental concentrations (EEC), with those that are estimated to have no biological effects, i.e. the no-observed effect concentrations (NOEC).

Simulation of chemical metabolism for fate and hazard assessment. V. Mammalian hazard assessment
SAR and QSAR in Environmental Research, 2012Animals and humans are exposed to a wide array of xenobiotics and have developed complex enzymatic mechanisms to detoxify these chemicals. Detoxification pathways involve a number of biotransformations, such as oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and conjugation reactions.

Hazard Assessment of Vegetated Slopes
2008Book abstract: This book is designed to assist the civil and geotechnical engineer, geomorphologist, forester, landscape architect or ecologist in choosing ecotechnological solutions for slopes that are prone to a variety of mass movements e.g. shallow failure or erosion.

Pentachlorophenol, an assessment of the occupational hazard
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1982Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is used primarily as a wood preservative. It can be absorbed into the body by all the routes of occupational exposure. It causes local irritation to the eyes and nose, as well as systemic effects that result from its ability to uncouple mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
