Protection of the environment: how to position radioprotection in an ecological risk assessment perspective.
The development of a system capable of ensuring adequate protection of the environment from the harmful effects of ionising radiation is at present particularly debated. This need comes both from a restrictive consideration of the environment in the so far existing system for human radioprotection, and the planetary-wide growing concerns about man's technogenic influence on his environment whic...
متن کاملBrucellosis in terrestrial wildlife.
The epidemiological link between brucellosis in wildlife and brucellosis in livestock and people is widely recognised. When studying brucellosis in wildlife, three questions arise: (i) Is this the result of a spillover from livestock or a sustainable infection in one or more host species of wildlife? (ii) Does wildlife brucellosis represent a reservoir of Brucella strains for livestock? (iii) I...
متن کاملProbabilistic risk assessment of agrochemicals in the environment
Concern for the environment has resulted in greater scrutiny of both old and new plant protection products and increased e!orts have been directed to developing more rigorous but more realistic procedures for the ecotoxicological risk characterization of these agrochemicals. These techniques include probabilistic analysis of toxicity and exposure data and better understanding of the relationshi...
متن کاملecological risk assessment for the terrestrial ecosystem under chronic radioactive pollution
a methodology of ecological risk assessment for the terrestrial ecosystem under chronicradioactive pollution of a biotope near a regional radioactive waste storage has been developed in terms of thecritical environmental loads analyzed. it consists of five stages: determination of effect indicators and assessmentof their values; establishment of reference species and indices; assessment and ana...
متن کاملRelevance of risk assessment to exposed communities.
Current environmental policy tends to evaluate potential, theoretical exposure to health risks by evaluating one chemical or hazard at a time. Risk assessment techniques used by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other government agencies do not evaluate the cumulative impact of exposure to environmental contaminants. This problem is of particular significance to low-income and...
