Risk assessment

C Haas and JNS Eisenberg
01 Jan 2001

Abstract

This chapter introduces the technique of microbial risk assessment and outlines its development from a simple approach based upon a chemical risk model to an epidemiologically-based model that accounts for, among other things, secondary transmission and protective immunity. Two case studies are presented to highlight the different approaches.
