It is  divided into methods for assessing, communicating, and managing health  risks. Risk assessment quantitatively estimates the health risks to  individuals and to groups from hazardous exposures and from the  decisions or activities that create them. It applies specialized  models and methods to quantify likely exposures and their resulting  health risks. Its goal is to produce information to improve decisions.  It does this by relating alternative decisions to their probable  consequences and by identifying those decisions that make preferred  outcomes more likely. Health risk assessment draws on explicit  engineering, biomathematical, and statistical consequence models to  describe or simulate the causal relations between actions and their  probable effects on health. Risk communication characterizes and  presents information about health risks and uncertainties to  decision-makers and stakeholders. Risk management applies principles  for choosing among alternative decision alternatives or actions that  affect exposure, health risks, or their consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792376156\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0847-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 556\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378466152588,"sku":"9780792376156","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792376156.jpg?v=1775004440","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792376156","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
