EFSA conducts risk assessments through a rigorous, science-based process that involves several key steps:
Hazard Identification: Identifying the chemical substances that could potentially pose risks. Hazard Characterization: Determining the nature of the adverse effects and their dose-response relationship. Exposure Assessment: Estimating the extent of human and animal exposure to these substances. Risk Characterization: Integrating the information from the previous steps to provide an overall assessment of the risk.
