Sustainable Chemical Risk Characterization for Decision Making
This course pulls together key material from all previous courses in the Chemical Risk Assessment program and discusses how it is integrated into a final risk characterization. It also covers risk perception, communication and management, and New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) poised to play key roles in future chemical risk assessments and nascent sustainable chemical policies. A final project proposal is also developed.
