EPA Risk Assessment

EPA Risk Assessment is a structured process used by the Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate potential health risks from exposure to environmental hazards, such as chemicals or pollutants. It involves identifying the hazard, analyzing the dose-response relationship (how exposure affects health), assessing exposure levels in the population, and characterizing the overall risk. This process helps inform regulations and policies to protect public health and the environment by providing a scientific basis for decisions about managing harmful substances and ensuring safety for communities.
