What are the Key Components of Enhanced Risk Assessment?
Enhanced risk assessment in nanotechnology involves several key components:
Hazard Identification: Determining the types of hazards posed by nanomaterials. Exposure Assessment: Evaluating the extent to which humans and the environment are exposed to nanomaterials. Dose-Response Assessment: Understanding the relationship between the dose of nanomaterial and the observed response. Risk Characterization: Integrating data from hazard identification, exposure, and dose-response assessments to estimate the risk.
