A risk-risk tradeoff approach for incorporating the public's risk perceptions into quantitative microbial risk assessment. [PDF]

J Occup Environ Hyg
In public health, risk experts often define acceptable risk targets without community input. We developed a novel method for applying behavioral microeconomics to integrate individuals’ risk preferences into risk assessment. To demonstrate this methodology, we explored a risk-risk tradeoff case scenario: increased asthma risk from increased cleaning ...

Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment as support for bathing waters profiling

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
Profiling bathing waters supported by Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) is key to the WHO's recommendations for the 2020/2021 revision of the European Bathing Water Directive. We developed an area-specific QMRA model on four pathogens, using fecal indicator concentrations (E. coli, enterococci) for calculating pathogen loads.

Does diversity of environmental microbial exposure matter for the occurrence of allergy and asthma? [PDF]

, 2012
This review describes the recent literature on microbial exposures and protective effects for asthma and atopy. Certain microorganism-associated molecular patterns have been identified as agents that might influence the development of the immune system ...

Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Campylobacter spp. on Ham in Korea [PDF]

Korean Journal for Food Science of Animal Resources, 2015
The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of illness from Campylobacter spp. on ham. To identify the hazards of Campylobacter spp. on ham, the general characteristics and microbial criteria for Campylobacter spp., and campylobacteriosis outbreaks were investigated. In the exposure assessment, the prevalence of Campylobacter spp.

Microbial risks associated with exposure to pathogens in contaminated urban flood water. [PDF]

, 2010
Urban flood incidents induced by heavy rainfall in many cases entail flooding of combined sewer systems. These flood waters are likely to be contaminated and may pose potential health risks to citizens exposed to pathogens in these waters. The purpose of
