Commercial software packages are available for conducting an LCA. A list of software packages, databases, and additional information on conducting an LCA are foimd at the U.S. EPA, Office of Research and Development, National Risk Management Research Laboratory Web site http // www.epa.gov / rumrl/lcaccess / resources.html Software.

In making risk management decisions it is important to take into account nontechnical factors in addition to scientific and economic information. Recent crises in the food industry have indicated that consumers perceptions about risks are driven by factors that would not be considered in conventional risk assessments. Research has shown that factors such as whether sub-groups (particularly children) might be affected, whether the hazard is familiar, if there are effects on the environment or if risks and benefits are equitably shared can determine consumers reactions to an issue.

Figure 7.1 is adapted from the red book (actual title Risk Assessment in the Federal Government Managing the Process ). The committee offered this figure as a depiction of the broad framework under which the three major activities necessary to protect public health from the hazardous properties of environmental chemicals (very broadly defined) - research, risk assessment, and risk management -should be organized. The committee further emphasized that the three involve quite discrete sets of analytical undertakings, and serve different purposes, so that efforts should be made to reduce the chance of inappropriate influence of one upon another. Thus, for example, risk... 

Medication errors have been defined in many ways, depending on research methodologies, incident reporting systems, risk management, or total quality improvement systems. USP uses the broad definition of medication error from the NCC MERP ... 

Since traditionally pharmaceuticals have not been considered as environmental contaminants, the study of their presence in the environment is in some ways a new area of research which has taken off recently. Nonetheless, so far, there is little knowledge on their occurrence, fate and environmental assessment, an essential tool for the implementation of minimizing measures and risk management. Potential risks associated with releases of pharmaceuticals into the environment have become an increasingly important issue for pharmaceutical industry and environmental regulators [7, 11].

It is essential to have a clear vision of roles of the different parties to risk assessment, including risk assessors, risk managers, and other stakeholders, and to ensure they interact efficiently throughout the process (National Research Council 1983,1996 US Presidential/ Congressional Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk Management 1997).
