Risk Assessment
and Human Health
The NCASI Foundation has recently been funding technical activity to improve the Science behind risk and exposure assessments, with an initial focus on developing and advancing the use of systematic approaches in reviews of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In the coming years, the NCASI Foundation envisions the development of a comprehensive research program around epidemiology and risk assessment science, while advancing the use of alternate approaches to further strengthen and validate the conclusions and facilitate the use of this Science for the benefit of public health.
This research will focus on five topics relevant to the risk assessment of chemicals found and regulated in all media, including air, water, soil, and food products, and are outlined in the document below.
