Definition of Risk
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
Elements of the Risk Assessment and Risk
Management Processes (NAS, 1983)
An Environmental Health Paradigm and Its Relationship
to the Risk Assessment Framework
 (Adapted from Sexton et al., 1995)
Hazard Identification
Toxicity data
- Carcinogenicity
      - Acute/Subchronic/Chronic Toxicity
- Mutagenicity
      - Teratogenicity / Developmental Toxicity
- Reproductive toxicity
      - Systematic Toxicity
- NOAEL(No observed adverse effect level)
- LOAEL(Lowest observed adverse effect level)
Environmental fate and transport
Example of Useful database
IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) : EPA, USA
HSDB (Hazardous Substances Data Bank) : NIH, USA
Dose-response Assessment
What is the relationship between dose and incidence in human?
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.
 General approaches to deriving toxicity criteria
based on toxicological end-points
Approach
Reference Dose
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
Modifying factor   1< MF <10

Exposure Assessment
Example) Exposure Pathways for Power Plant or Incinerator -
Basic Equation for exposure dose estimation
                        EC x IR  x AF x EF x ED
    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
Risk Characterization
Non-carcinogen
Hazard Index  = [exposure level] / [reference dose]
Exposure and reference dose
Carcinogen
linear low-dose model Risk
 = CDI(chronic daily intake average developing cancer x CP(cancer potency)
one-hit model
Risk = 1-exp(CDI x SF)
Aggregate Risks for multiple substances : sum of individual risk
Combining risks across exposure pathways : sum of exposure by all pathways
