Risk assessment is a quantitative assessment of the probability of
deleterious effects under given exposure conditions. It requires an
integration of both qualitative as well as quantitative scientific information.
For example, qualitative information about the overall evidence and nature
of the endpoints, and hazards are integrated with quantitative assessment
of the exposures, host susceptibility factors, and the magnitude of the
hazard. A description of the uncertainties and variability in the estimates is
a significant part of risk characterization and an essential component of risk
assessment.
