A reference on risk assessment. It contains two dozen case studies of environmental or human health risk assessments and presents not only the theoretical underpinnings of the discipline, but also serves as a handbook and 'how-to' guide for individuals conducting or interpreting risk assessments.

The bringing together of so many of the world's authorities on these topics, plus the comprehensive nature of the text, promises to make "Human and Ecological Risk Assessment" the text against which others will be measured in the coming years.
