Description:
The National Research Council (1983) identified chemical risk as a function of both inherent hazard and exposure. To address thousands of chemicals, we need to use “high throughput methods” to prioritize chemicals for additional study. High throughput risk prioritization needs: high throughput hazard characterization, high throughput exposure forecasts, and high throughput toxicokinetics (i.e., dosimetry) linking hazard and exposure. All of these methods are uncertain, but if that uncertainty can be quantified, we can make informed decisions.
