This volume of the series Advances in Risk Analysis consists of papers presented at the 1988 Annual Meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis, which was held October 30 through November 2 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The papers span the gamut of the increasing number of risk assessment topics addressed by the Society since it held its fIrst annual meeting in June 1981, also in Washington DC. Organized to promote interdisciplinary analyses, the Society approaches risks from three broad perspectives: (1) the impact of various risks on the health of the world's populations and on the...

A product of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on title], held in Attiki, Greece, October 1991, this volume advances the state of the art of cancer risk assessment methods by identifying potential short and long term contributions to such methods from the fundamental biological disciplines, i.e.

The data, the information, and even the overarching knowledge necessary for risk assessments of economically important environmental carcinogens come, for the most part, from the applied biological disciplines, e. g., toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, etc. The more fundamental biological disciplines, e. g., biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics of cancer, etc., have enormous but unrealized potential to improve current cancer risk assessment methods. The objective of this advanced research workshop ARW was to advance the state of the art of cancer risk...
