Abstract: Abstract Several government agencies are charged with evaluating the potential health and ecological effects of environmental toxicants. Based on their assessments, these agencies set standards for acceptable concentration levels of these toxicants in air, water, soil, food, etc. The process of modeling exposure to a toxicant and predicting health or ecological effects is termed risk assessment.
