The effects of exposures from contaminants in the environment (air, soil, water) and consumer products (vitamins, food, over-the-counter medications, household cleaners) need to be evaluated for health and environmental effects. While many of the exposures and environmental effects that occur from production and use of products are not intentional, they do require testing, evaluations, analysis, and interpretation. The goal of performing a risk assessment is to develop a means for educated and responsible decisions impacting the regulation, production, use, and disposal of potentially hazardous chemicals and other products. Risk Assessment Risk Assessment A Survival Tool *All business decisions involve risk *Profits are maximized when risks are managed intelligently *Intelligent decisions require accurate data and sensible interpretations Competitive Advantage The Toxicology Group... The risk assessment process involves evaluating the inherent toxicity of a chemical, material, or product, its potential for human/ecological exposure, and the consequences of that exposure.
