Nanotechnology and human health: risks and benefits
Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2010AbstractNanotechnology is expected to be promising in many fields of medical applications, mainly in cancer treatment. While a large number of very attractive exploitations open up for the clinics, regulatory agencies are very careful in admitting new nanomaterials for human use because of their potential toxicity.

Risk Management Frameworks for Human Health and Environmental Risks
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, 2003A comprehensive analytical review of the risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication approaches currently being undertaken by key national, provincial/state, territorial, and international agencies was conducted. The information acquired for review was used to identify the differences, commonalities, strengths, and weaknesses among the ...

Human health risks and soil pollution
2018Soils not only can act as a (temporary) sink for many types of pollutants emitted as a result of human activities (e.g., following atmospheric deposition or accidental spills) but can also act as a source of pollutants that will affect other environmental compartments (transfer to air, water, or biota).

Dietary ALEs are a risk to human health – NOT!
Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2007AbstractAdvanced lipoxidation end‐products (ALEs) are formed by reaction of protein with lipid‐derived reactive peroxyl and carbonyl compounds produced during food processing and cooking. There is concern that ALEs may induce damage in the gastrointestinal tract, affecting gut health, or enter the body and promote vascular inflammation and tissue ...

The focus of this chapter is human health risk assessment, which quantifies the human or environmental toxicological effects deriving from the release of a contaminant at a source and its migration towards exposed receptors. Essentially, this entails a quantitative description of the relations in the system “source—pathway—receptor”.

Characterization of Human Health Risks
1990In order to characterize the human health risks of exposure to a chemical substance or mixture of substances, it is necessary to identify the health effects that the substance(s) cause(s) in exposed humans (hazard evaluation) and then determine a quantitative relationship between the specific exposure and the incidence or severity of the effects (dose ...

[Health risks of mycotoxins for humans].
Mycoses, 1995Fungi cause diseases in humans in different ways. Due to production of secondary metabolites by molds, dematiaceous hyphomycetes, and primary plant pathogenic fungus species intoxications are included in their pathogenic potency. Mycotoxins mostly enter the body by ingestion of food because they are contaminants of plant products and in case of carry ...

Risk Characterization for Human Health Risk Assessments
2015The objectives of this chapter are to provide an introduction to the basics of risk characterization. The areas of risk characterization covered in this chapter include: an introduction to the role of risk characterization in the risk assessment process, the overall holistic purposes of a good risk characterization, principles of transparency, clarity,
