Infection transmission system models for microbial risk assessment
Science of the Total Environment, 2001Chemical risk assessments often focus on measuring exposure as if individuals were subject only to exogenous environmental sources of risk. For infectious diseases, exposure might not only depend on exogenous sources of microbes, but also on the infection status of other individuals in the population. For example, waterborne infections from agents such

A microbial identification framework for risk assessment
Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2018Micro-organisms are increasingly used in a variety of products for commercial uses, including cleaning products. Such microbial-based cleaning products (MBCP) are represented as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to chemically based cleaning products.

Role of epidemiology in microbial risk assessment
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A, 2008Microbial risk assessment (MRA) is a systematic tool to evaluate the likelihood of exposure to food-borne pathogens and the resulting impact of exposure on consumer health. In addition, MRA can be used to evaluate the public health impact of intervention or control measures designed to prevent or reduce pathogens at any or all of the steps in our ...

Microbial risk assessment (MRA) is used to evaluate foodborne hazards, the likelihood of exposure to those hazards, and the resulting public-health impact. It is generally recognized to consist of four parts: hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, and risk characterization.

An expanded Fermi solution for microbial risk assessment
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2007'Fermi solution' refers to an estimate of a quantity of interest derived from a sequence of guesses about factors of which detailed knowledge is unavailable. When one makes such guesses, it is unlikely that the large majority of them will be either too high or too low.

Microbial risk assessment: don’t forget the children
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2004Quantitative microbial risk assessment is a rapidly developing field with a purpose to quantify risks of infection, disease and mortality from the environmental exposure of pathogens. It is currently being applied to the development of standards for drinking water, wastewater re-use and foods. A growing body of evidence indicates that the greatest risk

Sensitivity analysis in quantitative microbial risk assessment
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2000The occurrence of foodborne disease remains a widespread problem in both the developing and the developed world. A systematic and quantitative evaluation of food safety is important to control the risk of foodborne diseases. World-wide, many initiatives are being taken to develop quantitative risk analysis.

Microbial risk assessment: dose-response relations and risk characterization
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2000Characterizations of the risks associated with foodborne pathogens are dependent on the availability of information on the population's exposure to the biological agents. However, by itself, exposure data are insufficient to assess the public health impact of pathogenic microorganisms.

Airborne Microbial Allergens: Impact and Risk Assessment
Toxicology and Industrial Health, 1990Despite their evolution in more natural niches, a variety of microorganisms have also successfully colonized man-made interiors. Such adaptable agents require fairly simple carbon and nitrogen sources, in limited amounts, and find these on surfaces and in fluid collections. Available moisture is also a critical permissive factor.

Improved microbial risk assessment of groundwater
Hydrogeology Journal, 2005The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimate that at the beginning of the year 2000, one-sixth (1.1 billion) of the world’s population lacked access to a safe water supply (WHO/UNICEF 2000). Despite global efforts made in the decade between 1980–1990, the majority of the worlds’ population with access to ...
