Biotechnology and comparative risk assessment
Date: 7.3.2006
Considerable attention has been paid to potential risks and risk assessment approaches for genetically engineered (GE) organisms.
In recent years, a number of regulatory agencies around the world have been formulating assessment procedures to ensure the acceptable environmental safety of GE organisms. Although there are exceptions, these procedures typically follow conventional risk assessment steps, including formulation of the problem, assessment of the effects, assessment of the exposures, and characterization of the risks.
