This volume deals with many aspects of uncertainty in risk assessment, including its origins, its general magnitude, and its implications for public policy. For the most part, the authors present real examples with real data. The 26 papers discuss the uncertainties of hazard identification, exposure assessment, does- response modeling, and risk characterization and communication. Topics include risk assessment for children and other sensitive populations, mega-experiments to identify and assess diffuse carcinogenic risks, uncertainty in biomonitoring and kinetic modeling, characterization of uncertainty and variability in residential radon cancer, distributions of individual susceptibility among humans for toxic effects, and reducing uncertainty in the derivation of health guidance values.
