Chemical risk assessment is a process that helps understand the potential health and environmental effects of chemicals. It's important for regulatory decisions on industrial chemicals. The process includes several steps, including:
Hazard identification
The first step in the process, this identifies the types of adverse health effects a chemical may cause.
Exposure assessment
This step defines the sources, routes, and agents of exposure. It also estimates the frequency, duration, and levels of exposure.
Risk characterization
This stage combines hazard characterization and exposure assessment.
