Abstract		The goal of comprenhensive risk assessment is to estimate the likelihood and the extent of an adverse effect occurring in man, animals or ecological systems from possible exposure(s) to chemical. The assessment of whether a substance presents a risk to the receiving environmental compartment is based on a comparison of the measured or predicted environmental concentration (PEC) of the chemical of concern with the predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) to organisms in that ecosystem. The assessment of wheter a substance presents a risk to man is based on comparison of the measured or predicted exposure for a human population of concern with a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL), generally derived from experimental animal studies.
