Abstract
The increased emphasis given to balancing costs and benefits in developing regulations for factors influencing human health has provided a strong impetus for development of a more formalized approach to risk assessment. Exposure to diesel exhaust gases is used as an example in order to examine the components of the risk assessment process as it is presently understood. The components of risk assessment are hazard identification, exposure-dose-response assessment, and exposure assessment. Risk is then characterized. Based on these studies, risk management options are defined, and the consequences of options are delineated, including public health, economic costs, and social and political factors. 28 references, 11 figures, 5 tables.
