Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment refers to characterizing the nature and extent of health hazards to individuals and biological receptors from chemical pollutants and other stressors that may be present in the atmosphere. Risk assessor estimates the occurrence and extent of human and ecological exposures that may happen as a result of contact with the tainted medium. This assessment of exposure is then united with information on the intrinsic toxicity of the chemical to predict the possibility, nature and magnitude of the antagonistic health effects that may occur.
