This paper presents a brief survey of current methodology available for quantitative risk assessment of environmental carcinogens. Four current models for low-dose extrapolation are reviewed. Current problems and controversies and possible options in doing quantitative risk assessments based on chronic animal studies are discussed.

Quantitative flood risk assessment for Polders
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2005In the Netherlands, the design of dikes and other water retaining structures is based on an acceptable probability (frequency) of overtopping. In 1993 a new safety concept was introduced based on total flood risk. Risk was defined as the product of probability and consequences.

Quantitative assessment of infection risk from exposure to waterborne pathogens in urban floodwater [PDF]
Water Research, 2014 Flooding and heavy rainfall have been associated with waterborne infectious disease outbreaks, however, it is unclear to which extent they pose a risk for public health.

The chemical process industries (CPI) contributed significantly in Indian economy. The growing importance of environment concerns is forcing CPI to use the state-of-the-art technology which increases the complexity of the process. The diversity in the products manufactured by CPI has made it more and more common for these industries to use reactors ...

The objective of this chapter is to put the use of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) in the toxicological assessment of food chemicals into perspective. The use of QRA will be contrasted with other approaches which derive numerical safety standards or guidance values.

Quantitative risk assessments cannot eliminate risk, nor can they resolve trade-offs. They can, however, guide principled risk management and reduction - if the quality of assessment is high and decision makers understand how to use it. This book builds a unifying scientific framework for discussing and evaluating the quality of risk assessments and ...

Treated briefly in this chapter are the methods that allow quantification of the probability of a particular type of accident occurring. It is not enough simply to identify all possible types of accidents, their causes and their evolution sequences. Neither is it sufficient to be able to predict the effects of an accident, assuming a specific group of ...

QRAS—the quantitative risk assessment system
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2006This paper presents an overview of QRAS, the Quantitative Risk Assessment System. QRAS is a PC-based software tool for conducting Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs), which was developed to address risk analysis needs held by NASA. QRAS is, however, applicable in a wide range of industries.

Asbestos Exposure —Quantitative Assessment of Risk
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1986Abstract Methods for deriving quantitative estimates of asbestos-associated health risks are reviewed and their numerous assumptions and uncertainties described. These methods involve extrapolation of risks observed at past relatively high asbestos concentration levels down to usually much lower concentration levels of interest today −

A method for quantitative risk appraisal for pesticide risk assessments
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2016Pesticide risk assessments are fraught with uncertainties that arise from the process of estimating exposure to and toxicity of chemicals. Regulatory agencies resolve those uncertainties in a health-protective (conservative) manner, typically acknowledging only inter- and intraspecies uncertainties quantitatively.
