Human health risk assessment
Human health risk assessments are used to minimize potential hazards that impact the health of a person or group. There is no standardized human health risk assessment as each unique situation and population would warrant personalized assessment procedures. General guidance dictates four phases to include in a human health risk assessment: 1) identifying the potential hazard, 2) assessing the overall exposure, 3) determining the impact of increasing degrees of exposure to the hazard, and 4) characterizing the risk.
