Risk assessment methodologies for carcinogenic compounds in indoor air

Models for carcinogenic risk assessment.

approach is the recognition that the response to a carcinogenic agent depends on the rate of exposure. For the radioactive agents the priority for the study of the so-called dose-rate effects appears to belong to Upton (3). A review (4) indicates that important dose-rate effects exist also for certain chemical carcinogens. Another item that I miss in Comnfield's approach is the phenomenon of sy...

Development of an indoor air quality checklist for risk assessment of indoor air pollutants by semiquantitative score in nonindustrial workplaces

BACKGROUND To meet the current diversified health needs in workplaces, especially in nonindustrial workplaces in developing countries, an indoor air quality (IAQ) component of a participatory occupational safety and health survey should be included. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate and suggest a multidisciplinary, integrated IAQ checklist for evaluating the health risk of ...

Harmonised approach for the risk assessment of compounds which are both genotoxic and carcinogenic

The European Food Safety Authority has prepared a draft for a harmonised strategy for the risk assessment of genotoxic and carcinogenic substances and presented this draft for discussion. The concept examines the exposure of the consumer to a specific substance and compares this with the carcinogenic effect of a defined dose in an animal experiment. Genotoxic and carcinogenic compounds are thus...
