In March 2004, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) published a review of its risk assessment principles and practices. In examining this review, we find a broad, but not particularly deep, review by the authors and areas where the U.S. EPA should strive to further improve the risk assessment process. Recommended areas of improvement include the use of less conservative default assumptions, calculating risk based on populations instead of individuals, and fostering research on multiple stressors and their impacts on estimating risks to ecological receptors.
2004年3月，美国环境保护局（U.S. EPA）发布了一份对其风险评估原则与实践的审查报告。在审视这份审查报告时，我们发现作者进行了广泛但并非特别深入的审查，以及美国环境保护局应努力进一步改进风险评估过程的一些领域。建议的改进领域包括使用不那么保守的默认假设、基于人群而非个体来计算风险，以及促进对多种压力源及其对生态受体风险估计影响的研究。
