Introduction to Chemical Exposure and Risk Assessment focuses on
the principles involved in assessing the risks from chemical
exposure. These principles include the perception of risk, an
understanding of how numbers are handled, and how chemicals affect
health. The book briefly describes the major sinks, such as water
and air, where chemicals are introduced. This is followed by a
discussion on how concentrations are estimated and risk assessments
are made. A discussion of risk benefit analysis and a presentation
of several case studies using the principles for assessing risks
are also included.
This two-volume series will describe the mechanisms that are
operating on chemicals as thy move in the environment. Knowledge of
these mechanisms is a vital component in performing a risk
assessment. Volume I will deal with the physical and chemical
properties of a material and how these influence the degradation
and dissipating reactions. Volume 2 will address the transport of
the chemical as it moves through the environment from the source to
the final sink.
