The Demand For Risk Analysts Who Are Able To Answer Such Questions Has Grown Exponentially In Recent Years. Yet Programs To Train These Analysts Have Not Kept Pace. In This Book, Daniel Kammen And David Hassenzahl Address That Problem. They Draw Together, Organize, And Seek To Unify Previously Disparate Theories And Methodologies Connected With Risk Analysis For Health, Environmental, And Technological Problems. They Also Provide A Rich Variety Of Case Studies And Worked Problems, Meeting The Growing Need For An Uptodate Book Suitable For Teaching And Individual Learning.The Specific Problems Addressed In The Book Include Orderofmagnitude Estimation, Doseresponse Calculations, Exposure Assessment, Extrapolations And Forecasts Based On Experimental Or Natural Data, Modeling And The Problems Of Complexity In Models, Faulttree Analysis, Managing And Estimating Uncertainty, And Social Theories Of Risk And Risk Communication.
