Overview
Health conditions and consequences of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, have a big impact on the lives of humans and environment. They pose an immense societal and economic burden. Risk assessment and management of hazardous agents has contributed significantly to the prevention of non-communicable diseases. However, over the past years it has become clear that current systems of chemical risk assessment have some limitations. We refer here to the discussions about the health risks of bisphenol A, glyphosate, gen-X, non-ionising radation and hexavalent chromium. An analysis with a focus on the use of scientific evidence in the process of human health risk assessment is required.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
Identification of health hazards of substances and mixtures, including product formulations or natural food products with contaminants/residues
Assessment of exposure of physical, chemical and biological risk factors, including studies that use human biological monitoring techniques
Studies that address questions and uncertainties related to the aetiology of NCDs in occupational and environmental health
Risk communication and communication strategies towards policy makers
Ethical aspects and responsibilities of several stakeholders
