Infos

Human health risk assessment involves the measuring of risk of
exposure to disease, with a view to improving disease prevention.
Mathematical, biological, statistical, and computational methods
play a key role in exposure assessment, hazard assessment and
identification, and dose-response modelling.

Recent Advances in Quantitative Methods in Cancer and Human
Health Risk Assessment is a comprehensive text that accounts
for the wealth of new biological data as well as new biological,
toxicological, and medical approaches adopted in risk assessment.
It provides an authoritative compendium of state-of-the-art methods
proposed and used, featuring contributions from eminent authors
with varied experience from academia, government, and industry.

* Provides a comprehensive summary of currently available
quantitative methods for risk assessment of both cancer and
non-cancer problems.

* Describes the applications and the limitations of current
mathematical modelling and statistical analysis methods (classical
and Bayesian).

* Includes an extensive introduction and discussion to each
chapter.

* Features detailed studies of risk assessments using
biologically-based modelling approaches.

* Discusses the varying computational aspects of the methods
proposed.

* Provides a global perspective on human health risk assessment
by featuring case studies from a wide range of countries.

* Features an extensive bibliography with links to relevant
background information within each chapter.

Recent Advances in Quantitative Methods in Cancer and Human
Health Risk Assessment will appeal to researchers and
practitioners in public health & epidemiology, and postgraduate
students alike. It will also be of interest to professionals
working in risk assessment agencies.
