Total risk = (How much or How often) |
|
x (Some risk per unit of action, or per event) |
|
|
|
Risk = Probability(Exposure) x
Severity(Toxicity) |
|
= S{probability x severity x weight} |
|
|
|
: Likelihood(probability) that an adverse
event will occur when a product
containing a hazardous chemical is used in permitted ways |
|
|
|
Measures of Risk : Deaths, Injuries, et al. |
|
|
|
Risk Assessment |
|
: The determination of the probability that an
adverse effect will result from a defined exposure |

Extrapolation |
|
Experimental Dose(High Dose) to
Low-Dose(Environmental Dose) |
|
Using Mathematical model |
|
Dose-Scaling |
|
Animal Dose to Human Dose |
|
Considering body weight, surface area, et al. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference Dose (RfD) or Reference Concentration (RfC) |
|
the estimate of the amount of a substance in
food or drinking-water, expressed on a body weight basis |
|
|
|
UF : Uncertainty Factors 3-10, from animals to humans |
|
3-10, human variability |
|
5-10, less than chronic data |
|
5-10, LOAEL instead of NOAEL |
|
10, incomplete data base |

|
Dose = |
|
|
|
BW x AT x 365(days/year) |
|
Dose = exposure intake ( mg/kg bw-day ) |
|
EC = the environmental concentration |
|
IR = daily intake or contact rate |
|
AF = absorption factor |
|
EF =
exposure frequency |
|
ED = exposure duration |
|
BW = body weight(kg) |
|
AT = averaging time : for evaluation of
carcinogens – 70 years for evaluation of non-carcinogens – duration of
exposure |

Non-carcinogen |
|
Hazard Index = [exposure level] / [reference dose] |
