HERA (Human and Environmental Risk Assessment)

HERA, or Human and Environmental Risk Assessment, is a process used to evaluate the potential risks that certain substances or activities could pose to human health and the environment. It involves identifying hazards, assessing the likelihood of exposure, and analyzing the potential effects on people, wildlife, and ecosystems. The goal is to inform decision-making and promote safety by guiding regulations and practices that minimize harmful impacts while ensuring responsible use of chemicals and resources. HERA is important for protecting public health and maintaining ecological balance.
