Translational benchmark risk analysis

Journal of Risk Research, 2010, vol. 13, issue 5, 653-667

Abstract: Translational development -- in the sense of translating a mature methodology from one area of application to another, evolving area -- is discussed for the use of benchmark doses in quantitative risk assessment. Illustrations are presented with traditional applications of the benchmark paradigm in biology and toxicology, and also with risk endpoints that differ from traditional toxicological archetypes. It is seen that the benchmark approach can apply to a diverse spectrum of risk management settings. This suggests a promising future for this important risk-analytic tool. Extensions of the method to a wider variety of applications represent a significant opportunity for enhancing environmental, biomedical, industrial, and socio-economic risk assessments.
