Book Description
File characteristics: Database (20 files). Physical description: 1 computer diskette; 5 1/4 in.; high density; 1.4MB. System requirements: PC compatible; DOS; DBase III+; (31) Files are compressed. To access the list requires a hard disk with at least 10MB of free space. This Appendix lists the chemicals for which information is available in the database collection systems described in Part I of this inventory. For each chemical, the list indicates which database(s) contain information and for what media. The media categories are air, water, soil, food, bulk chemicals, human samples, mixed hazardous waste, materials injected into underground wells, materials discharged to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs), wastes at recycling and treatment facilities, and wildlife that does not constitute a food source for humans (e.g. starlings).

Uncertainty and Data Quality in Exposure Assessment
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9241563761
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Assessment of human exposure to chemicals is a critical input to risk assessment and ultimately to decisions about control of chemicals. This two-part publication aims to improve the quality of information available to decision-makers and its communication. Part one sets out ten principles for characterizing and communicating uncertainty in exposure assessment. A tiered approach to the evaluation of uncertainties using both qualitative (simple) and quantitative (more complex) methods is described. Different sources of uncertainty are identified and guidance is provided on selecting the appropriate approach to uncertainty analysis as dictated by the objectives of the assessment and information needs of decision-makers and stakeholders. Part two addresses the quality of data used in exposure assessment and sets out four basic hallmarks of data quality - appropriateness accuracy integrity and transparency. These hallmarks provides a common vocabulary and set of qualitative criteria for use in the design evaluation and use of exposure assessments to support decisions. This publication is intended exposure assessors risk assessors and decision-makers.

Science and Decisions
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309120462
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Risk assessment has become a dominant public policy tool for making choices, based on limited resources, to protect public health and the environment. It has been instrumental to the mission of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as other federal agencies in evaluating public health concerns, informing regulatory and technological decisions, prioritizing research needs and funding, and in developing approaches for cost-benefit analysis. However, risk assessment is at a crossroads. Despite advances in the field, risk assessment faces a number of significant challenges including lengthy delays in making complex decisions; lack of data leading to significant uncertainty in risk assessments; and many chemicals in the marketplace that have not been evaluated and emerging agents requiring assessment. Science and Decisions makes practical scientific and technical recommendations to address these challenges. This book is a complement to the widely used 1983 National Academies book, Risk Assessment in the Federal Government (also known as the Red Book). The earlier book established a framework for the concepts and conduct of risk assessment that has been adopted by numerous expert committees, regulatory agencies, and public health institutions. The new book embeds these concepts within a broader framework for risk-based decision-making. Together, these are essential references for those working in the regulatory and public health fields.
