Superfund Human Health Risk Assessment: Unpacking the "Black Box"

This seminar will provide participants with a basic introduction to the fundamental concepts and terminology associated with risk assessments, specifically as they relate to human health and the Superfund Remedial Program. A simplified basic risk assessment case study will be presented to offer participants a better understanding of processes that occur within the "black box" of risk assessment. This seminar will also discuss the relationship between the basic risk-assessment process, and risk management, and conclude with a discussion on where risk assessment fits in the Superfund pipeline.
