L7 Environmental Risk Assessment Quiz Env Epid

What is the definition of 'Environment'?

• The process of measuring or estimating human exposures

• The process of choosing between different options

• The process of estimating the incidence of a health effect

• The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal or plant lives or operates

What does 'Risk' refer to?

• The process of measuring or estimating human exposures

• Probability of occurring any adverse effect

• The process of estimating the incidence of a health effect

• The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal or plant lives or operates

What is the purpose of 'Risk Characterization'?

• To identify potential options for risk management

• To estimate the incidence of a health effect under various conditions of exposure

• To measure the intensity, frequency, and duration of human exposures

• To choose between different regulatory options

What is the key element of 'Risk Recognition'?

• Implementing along with other key elements of safety and health management

• Determining risks that could prevent achieving objectives

• Estimating the incidence of a health effect

• Comparing predicted environmental concentrations

What is the process of 'Risk Identification'?

• Documenting and communicating concerns

• Measuring or estimating human exposures

• Estimating the incidence of a health effect

• Determining risks that could prevent achieving objectives

What does 'Grading of Risk' involve?

• Determining the level of risk from low to high

• Comparing predicted environmental concentrations

• Estimating the incidence of a health effect

• Measuring the intensity, frequency, and duration of human exposures

What is the first step in 'Risk Assessment'?

• Dose-response assessment

• Exposure assessment

• Hazard identification

• Risk characterization

What is 'Environmental Risk Management' focused on?

• Choosing between different regulatory options

• Calculating risk ratios

• Assessing, mitigating, and monitoring effects of recognized risks

• Estimating hypothetical exposures

What is the final step in 'Risk Management'?

• Monitoring and Evaluation

• Review

• Decision
