Assessment conclusions technology

The concept of risk assessment requires a profound understanding of food dynamics and technological conditions that may impact the risk levels of certain hazardous compounds. It requires that scientific information and data are collected to underpin conclusions about risk levels. Risk assessment can be used to scientifically underpin the selection of hazards that must be covered by a quality or safety assurance system (e.g., HACCP) that will improve the reliability of the system. 

In this assessment, the Office of Technology Assessment examined the costs of pharmaceutical research and development (R D), the economic rewards from that investment, and the impact of public policies on both costs and returns. Below is a brief synopsis of the study s major conclusions ... 

In conclusion, if the potential of recent technological advances in improved aerosol delivery devices is to be fully realized, it is important that we focus on how to get the aerosol to the right site according to the age, maturity, and disease status of the individual. This can be achieved only if both drug delivery and assessment of effectiveness are based on a firm knowledge of the underlying structure and function of the respiratory system in the individual concerned.
