Exposure of humans to contaminated sites may result in many types of health damage ranging from relatively innocent symptoms such as skin eruption or nausea, on up to cancer or even death. Human health protection is considered as a major protection target, both by decision-makers as well as by the general public.

Migration of heavy metals in the soil-grape system and potential health risk assessment.
Science of the Total Environment, 2021The accumulation of heavy metals in soil may introduce them to the food chain and cause health risks for humans. In the present study, 43 pairs of soil and grape samples (leaf and fruit) were collected form vineyards in the suburbs of Kaifeng city ...

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1993
In the United States the hazards posed by chemicals are often enormously exaggerated. In "calculating" risks of human cancer and establishing regulations, the United States Environmental Protection Agency makes a series of "conservative" assumptions that have no sound scientific basis. In consequence, trillions of dollars could be wasted. Exaggerations

Uncertainty in health risk assessments
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1990Considerable scientific evidence has accumulated in the area of risk assessment. Using physiologically based pharmacokinetic models and biologically based dose-response models, more precise estimates of risk are becoming available. Uncertainty analysis performed at three steps of the process will enhance a clearer understanding of the assumptions being

Risk Assessment and Child Health
Pediatrics, 2004Risk assessment, an approach for organizing information about hazards to health, safety, and the environment, provides a framework for gauging the threat to child health from environmental pollutants. A qualitative risk assessment has 4 components: hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization.
