Biologic markers in risk assessment for environmental carcinogens
The potential of biologic markers to provide more timely and precise risk assessments for environmental carcinogens is viewed against the current state-of-the-art in biological monitoring/molecular epidemiology. Biologic markers such as carcinogen-DNA adducts and oncogene activation are currently considered valid qualitative indicators of potential risk, but for most chemical exposures research...
متن کاملRisk-based indicators of Canadians’ exposures to environmental carcinogens
BACKGROUND Tools for estimating population exposures to environmental carcinogens are required to support evidence-based policies to reduce chronic exposures and associated cancers. Our objective was to develop indicators of population exposure to selected environmental carcinogens that can be easily updated over time, and allow comparisons and prioritization between different carcinogens and e...
متن کاملEnvironmental risk assessment of a dam during construction phase
The present study was conducted to assess the possible risks induced by construction of Gavi Dam in Ilam Province; western part of Iran, using MIKE-11 model and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution. For this purpose, vulnerable zone of the dam site against the flooding risk of Gavi River was calculated for different return periods. The flooding zones were stimulated...
متن کاملEnvironmental Risk Assessment
This paper presents a current overview of the basic elements of environmental risk assessment within the basic four-step process of hazard identification, exposure assessment, toxicity assessment, and risk characterization. These general steps have been applied to assess both human and ecological risks from environmental exposures. Approaches used to identify hazards and exposures are being ref...
متن کاملCarcinogenic risk assessment: are there dose thresholds for carcinogens?
While it has been generally accepted that genotoxic carcinogens have no dose threshold for their carcinogenic potential, there is increasing evidence that very low doses in fact are incapable of inducing tumours or preneoplastic lesions. Thus not only so-called epigenetic 'non-genotoxic' compounds like phenobarbital and benzene hexachloride, but also unequivocally genotoxic carcinogens like the...
