EOHSI

The Center for Risk Analysis addresses critical issues in lifetime or acute environmental and occupational risk. It uses a multidisciplinary approach to inform the public, industry and government on the relative risk of disease incidence, and to recommend approaches to disease intervention, mitigation and prevention. It includes analyzing everyday individual and population issues that are related to chemical, biological and physical agent hazards and exposures as well as acute and long term hazards and exposures caused by natural, accidental and terrorist events.
