Enhancing Science and Policy for Chemical Risk Assessments Open Access

Risk assessment plays an important role in developing effective regulations, especially in the areas of health and environmental policy. A recent workshop at the George Washington University explored best practices for Enhancing Science and Policy for Chemical Risk Assessments. This summary highlights the themes of the workshop. We expect to post presentations and a more detailed summary of the afternoon discussions soon. Given the interest in the topic, and the constructive discussion the workshop facilitated, we also expect to follow the dialogue with future workshops and recommendations for improving how science is used in rulemaking.
