Human health risk assessment involves the measuring of risk of
exposure to disease, with a view to improving disease prevention.
Mathematical, biological, statistical, and computational methods
play a key role in exposure assessment, hazard assessment and
identification, and dose-response modelling.
"Recent Advances in Quantitative Methods in Cancer and Human
Health Risk Assessment" is a comprehensive text that accounts for
the wealth of new biological data as well as new biological,
toxicological, and medical approaches adopted in risk assessment.
It provides an authoritative compendium of state-of-the-art methods
proposed and used, featuring contributions from eminent authors
with varied experience from academia, government, and
industry.Provides a comprehensive summary of currently available
quantitative methods for risk assessment of both cancer and
non-cancer problems.Describes the applications and the limitations
of current mathematical modelling and statistical analysis methods
(classical and Bayesian).Includes an extensive introduction and
discussion to each chapter.Features detailed studies of risk
assessments using biologically-based modelling approaches.Discusses
the varying computational aspects of the methods proposed.Provides
a global perspective on human health risk assessment by featuring
case studies from a wide range of countries.Features an extensive
bibliography with links to relevant background information within
each chapter.
"Recent Advances in Quantitative Methods in Cancer and Human
Health Risk Assessment" will appeal to researchers and
practitioners in public health & epidemiology, and postgraduate
students alike. It will also be of interest to professionals
working in risk assessment agencies.
