Assessing the health risks of aluminum

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 1990
Aluminum is a ubiquitous substance with over 4,000 uses. Aluminum, as aluminum sulfate, is commonly used in the United States as a coagulant in the treatment of drinking water. For many years aluminum was not considered to be toxic to humans. However, reports associating aluminum with several skeletal and neurological disorders in humans suggest that ...

Procedures for Health Risk Assessment in Europe

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2001
This report compares cancer classification systems, health risk assessment approaches, and procedures used for establishing occupational exposure limits (OELs), in various European countries and scientific organizations. The objectives were to highlight and compare key aspects of these processes and to identify the basis for differences in cancer ...

Health Risk Assessment

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, 1990
Considerable 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
