Risk assessment is an empirically based process that estimates the risk of adverse effects from exposure of an individual or population to a chemical, physical or biological agent. The OECD test guidelines, the US EPA risk assessment guidelines and additional risk assessment procedures for new and existing chemicals have been published and put into use by many different countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia (United Kingdom Department of Health, 1991,1995 EC, 1994,1996 Health Canada, 1994 IPCS, 1994 Hertel, 1996). A list of assessments produced by various national and international agencies on specific chemicals is included in ECETOC/UNEP (1996).
