Abstract

Cumulative risk assessment Psychosocial stress
Numerous papers have highlighted the need for cumulative risk assessments that evaluate the impacts of multiple chemical and nonchemical stressors on human health [1,2]. Nonchemical stressors represent a diverse suite of factors (e.g., social and economic adversity) that are only beginning to be explored in risk assessment [3]. Approaches incorporating both chemical and nonchemical stressors are critical for better understanding relative contributions of real-world stressors and developing effective intervention strategies. However, moving from traditional single chemical evaluations to cumulative risk assessments presents multiple challenges.
