Proceedings of the 1994 Conference on Toxicology: Conference on Temporal Aspects in Risk Assessment for Noncancer Endpoints

摘要

The Conference on Temporal Aspects in Risk Assessment for Noncancer Endpoints was a continuation on a theme of risk assessment and toxicology that began in April, 1993, with the Conference on Risk Assessment Paradigm After Ten Years: Policy and Practice Then, Now, and in the Future. The purpose was to provide opportunities for research scientists, risk assessment practitioners, end users of risk analyses, and those interested in learning more about the rapidly evolving field of risk assessment to interact and to evaluate the state of the art of risk assessment. The goals were (1) recognition of temporal issues in the risk assessment process, (2) examination of critical time factors in hazard identification, dose-response, and exposure characterization, and (3) exploration of limitations in risk characterization. The conference was cosponsored by the Tri-Service Toxicology Consortium (Air Force, Army, and Navy) , Environmental Protection Agency, and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease, and was attended by representatives of government, industry, and academia.
