Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

Chemical Risk Assessment and Management

This track focuses on the systematic evaluation of risks associated with chemical exposure in the environment and human populations. It includes hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. The track highlights quantitative and qualitative approaches used in regulatory toxicology, including probabilistic risk assessment and safety factor determination. It also covers environmental guidelines, permissible exposure limits, and international chemical safety regulations. Researchers will discuss decision-making frameworks used by governments and organizations to manage chemical risks and reduce environmental health hazards. Emphasis is placed on integrating scientific data into policy and sustainable chemical management practices.
