Having traditionally relied on measurements of bone mineral density, it is now established that the consideration of other risk variables improves the categorisation of fracture risk. Whereas several models are available, the FRAX models are the most extensively used.

GM risk assessments (GMRAs) play an important role in the decision-making process surrounding the regulation, notification and permission to handle Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Ultimately the role of each GMRA will be able to ensure the safe handling and containment of the GMO; and to asses any potential impacts on the environment and human ...

An Assessment of Integrated Risk Assessment
Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: An International Journal, 2007ABSTRACT In order to promote international understanding and acceptance of the integrated risk assessment process, the World Health Organization/International Programme on Chemical Safety (WHO/IPCS), in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, initiated a number of ...

Risk assessment and immunotoxicology
Toxicology Letters, 1998In general toxicity testing, maximal acceptable concentrations are derived from no-observed adverse effect levels (NOAEL) in rodents. Risk assessment then considers safety factors for the interspecies difference, and intraspecies variability. This approach can be used for assessing maximal acceptable concentrations for chemicals inducing direct ...

Publisher Summary Risk assessment provides an effective framework for determining the relative urgency of problems and the allocation of resources to reduce risks. Subsequently, it can help target prevention, remediation, or control efforts toward areas, sources, or situations in which the greatest risk reductions can be achieved with the resources ...

Assessing the risk assessment paradigm
Toxicology, 1995Risk assessment provides an essential framework for organizing, evaluating and characterizing scientific information on the nature and magnitude of hazards from specific chemicals. Such characterization of risk is needed for risk communication and for risk reduction and management.

Publisher Summary Risk is a function of threats and vulnerabilities. It is the possibility of asset loss, damage, or destruction. Risk is the result of the likelihood that a specific vulnerability of a particular asset will be exploited by an adversary to cause a given consequence. A risk assessment is a quantitative, qualitative, or hybrid assessment

Specific risk assessment methods have been developed for different types of risks. Nevertheless, they present some common features. This Chapter focusses on the assessment of chemical, biological, ecological and radiation risks, the safety of food and feed derived from genetically modifies plants, and on the safety assessment of nuclear power plant ...
