Case studies for existing health risks include psychoactive drug usage in delivery truck drivers and using look-back risk assessment for accidental syringe re-use in healthcare settings. Case studies for emerging risks include precautionary actions to safeguard blood supplies; nanoparticle deposition in the lung; and the epistemic issues surrounding genetically modified organism risk assessments. The final section of the book deals with advancing health risk assessment analyses through a post-genomics lens and provides case studies on personalized genomics, new data analyses and improving in silico models for risk assessment. These case studies provide much insight into the ongoing evolution of health risk assessments. 2016-12-31 23:55:55 2019-10-04 14:38:01 2020-04-01T14:06:39Z 2020-04-01T14:06:39Z 2012 book 612628 OCN: 1030822535 9809533075827 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/32326 eng InTechOpen 10.5772/2689 10.5772/2689 09f6769d-48ed-467d-b150-4cf2680656a1 96cf01b8-eef4-4e66-95f7-a76be3693a1a 9809533075827 208 open access
