Risk assessment for the deliberate release of microorganisms into the environment is traditionally carried out on a case-by-case basis. In a similar approach to that used when assessing human pathogenicity, we propose an alternative approach by introducing risk classes to facilitate or complement this type of risk assessment. These consider several sets of scenarios that address the different values that need to be protected. Examples of this approach include risk-class definitions for soil fertility and biodiversity.
传统上，针对蓄意将微生物释放到环境中的风险评估是逐案进行的。与评估人类致病性时采用的方法类似，我们提出一种替代方法，即引入风险类别以促进或补充此类风险评估。这些风险类别考虑了几组情景，这些情景涉及需要保护的不同价值。这种方法的示例包括土壤肥力和生物多样性的风险类别定义。
