This subprogram is seeking to develop a standard Australian
basis for assessing ‘acceptable risk’. Specifically it
is developing:
- A database of the level of risk estimated, the likelihood of
adverse effects on human health and the cost to the community
- Statistically sound and validated methods for estimating the
reasonable maximum exposure and risk to human health and ecosystems
and
- A set of health and ecological investigation levels for a wide
range of contaminants and conditions relevant to Australia.
