Toxicology is an integral part of the risk assessment
process.
In this book, investigators from the scientific and regulatory
communities describe recent technical developments in risk
assessment embracing toxicology and its allied sciences, risk
qualification and characterisation, risk management, and risk
communication.
Case studies pertaining to current issues involving chemical and
environmental risks, including military and industrial scenarios,
are presented.
Chapters describe value and ethical choices underlying
toxicological decisions, economic and legal implications of
regulations, understanding risk, and recommendations of the
commission on risk assessment and risk management.
