Abstract
Within the scope of toxicology, human health risk assessment is defined as the “systematic scientific characterization of potential adverse health effects resulting from human exposures to hazardous agents or situations.” It is a process by which toxicology, epidemiology, and environmental research are meshed to provide an overall understanding of risk. Hazard identification, the first in the four-step risk assessment paradigm, is the process used to determine whether exposure to a chemical or other agent may result in an adverse human health effect. Today, risk assessment research has widespread applications and influences fields that may seem far removed from its regulatory toxicology roots. This chapter provides resources for both human health and ecological risk assessment. The information resources provided are presented in the following order: “Books,” “Journals,” “Journal articles,” “Organi- zations,” “Databases,” and “Other resources.”
