Organizational components and structural features of EPA's new Human Exposure Research Program.

Journal of exposure analysis and environmental epidemiology

Akland GG.
PMID: 1824314
J Expo Anal Environ Epidemiol. 1991 Apr;1(2):129-41.

Modern technology has brought about a dramatic increase in the production and consumption of man-made chemicals and in their resulting emissions. It is clear that these emissions and their by-products will likely affect our environment and have a health...

Evidence from Toxicology: The Most Essential Science for Prevention.

Environmental health perspectives

Mandrioli D, Silbergeld EK.
PMID: 26091173
Environ Health Perspect. 2016 Jan;124(1):6-11. doi: 10.1289/ehp.1509880. Epub 2015 Jun 19.

BACKGROUND: The most essential goal of medicine and public health is to prevent harm (primum non nocere). This goal is only fully achieved with primary prevention, which requires us to identify and prevent harms prior to human exposure through...

Optimal Spatial Prediction Using Ensemble Machine Learning.

The international journal of biostatistics

Davies MM, van der Laan MJ.
PMID: 27130244
Int J Biostat. 2016 May 01;12(1):179-201. doi: 10.1515/ijb-2014-0060.

Spatial prediction is an important problem in many scientific disciplines. Super Learner is an ensemble prediction approach related to stacked generalization that uses cross-validation to search for the optimal predictor amongst all convex combinations of a heterogeneous candidate set....

Cumulative risk assessment lessons learned: a review of case studies and issue papers.

Chemosphere

Gallagher SS, Rice GE, Scarano LJ, Teuschler LK, Bollweg G, Martin L.
PMID: 25462315

Cumulative risk assessments (CRAs) examine potential risks posed by exposure to multiple and sometimes disparate environmental stressors. CRAs are more resource intensive than single chemical assessments, and pose additional challenges and sources of uncertainty. CRAs may examine the impact...

Whither Risk Assessment: New Challenges and Opportunities a Third of a Century After the Red Book.

Risk analysis : an official publication of the Society for Risk Analysis

If cumulative risk assessment is the answer, what is the question?.

Environmental health perspectives

Callahan MA, Sexton K.
PMID: 17520071
Environ Health Perspect. 2007 May;115(5):799-806. doi: 10.1289/ehp.9330. Epub 2007 Jan 24.

Cumulative risk refers to the combined threats from exposure via all relevant routes to multiple stressors including biological, chemical, physical, and psychosocial entities. Cumulative risk assessment is a tool for organizing and analyzing information to examine, characterize, and possibly...

Comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's definition of risk assessment.

Human & experimental toxicology

Doull J.
PMID: 16459713
Hum Exp Toxicol. 2006 Jan;25(1):44-5. doi: 10.1191/0960327106ht583oa.

Common sense requires that regulation to prevent the adverse effects of exposure to chemicals should when possible preserve the desirable or beneficial effects of exposure to the chemical. Excluding such effects by definition is contrary to good science and...
