Title: Low-Dose Risk Assessment in an Era of Technological Change

Affiliation(s): University of South Carolina
Address: , Columbia, South Carolina, 29208, USA
Keywords: Quantitative Risk Assessment ; Low-dose extrapolation ; Environmetrics ; Benchmark Analysis
Abstract:

This presentation will emphasize that modern environmental risk assessment must (continue to) evolve as we develop new and better ways to (i) identify, (ii) measure, (iii) analyze, and (iv) infer the risks to populations (human and otherwise) of environmental hazards. An illustration is presented on how to enhance low-dose risk assessment for simultaneous benchmark dose estimation.
