Description
Summary:For many pollutants, a preliminary estimate of the risk posed by environmental releases can be determined from knowledge of the quantity released, the incremental intake per unit release and the likelihood and severity of adverse effects per unit intake. Bennett et al discuss the emissions-to-intake relationship.
