Prepared under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services, this examination of the methodologies used in assessing health hazards offers important background on the rationale of risk assessment. It uses ten high profile risk areas to compare measurement approaches. There are challenges in the choice of what to assess and in what priority to give a particular human health risk in light of the array and diversity of health hazards.
