Regulatory decisions require clear risk characterization, balancing science and policy. This workshop emphasized informed decision-making amidst scientific uncertainty for public health protection.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health Risk Assessment
  • Science Policy and Regulation

Background:

  • National Research Council (NRC) identified need for clearer scientific/policy basis in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) risk estimates.
  • Public scrutiny and health threats necessitate expert, informed regulatory decisions.

Framework:

  • USEPA's 1995 risk characterization policy mandates full disclosure of scientific analysis, uncertainties, assumptions, and science policy.
  • Effective risk characterization is crucial for regulatory decision-making.

Implementation:

  • Workshop focused on key elements of risk characterization for Society of Toxicology members.
  • Highlighted advances in risk characterization from diverse sectors including government, industry, and academia.

Implications:
