Risk Analysis forms the basis for making decisions related to ecology and human health. Risk analysis requires integrating toxicology, statistical probability and law to make decisions even when these aspects are in direct conflict. The complexity of environmental issues requires that risk be continually measured and communicated in the presence of scientific evidence and regulatory interpretations which are often inconsistent and evolving. This course will examine the risk analysis and assessment processes for ecological and human health, their strengths and weaknesses, and managing and communicating that risk.
