Written for safety and loss-control, environmental, and quality
managers, this is the first comprehensive, integrated guide to
developing a complete environmental risk analysis for regulated
substances and processes. Unlike other books, Introduction to Risk
Analysis looks at risk from a regulatory perspective, allowing both
professionals in regulatory agencies concerned with risk including
OSHA, EPA, USDA, DOT, FDA, and state environmental agencies and
professionals in any agency-regulated industry to understand and
implement the methods required for proper risk assessment. The
authors examine risk and the structure of analysis. Emphasizing the
predictive nature of risk, they discuss the quantitative nature of
risk and explore quantitative-analysis topics, including data
graphing, logarithmic thinking, risk estimating, and curve fitting.
Chapters include discussions on functions, models, and
uncertainties; the regulatory process; risk assessment; exposure;
dosimetry; epidemiology; toxicology; risk characterization;
comparative risk assessment; ecological risk assessment; risk
management; and risk communication. Six in-depth case studies, an
annotated bibliography, and more than 50 figures are also
included."
