The risk assessment module encompasses the following topics:

• Environmental fate, sampling and measuring of pollutants: Chemical properties of pollutants and environment that influence transfer, accumulation and degradation; Sampling and measurement techniques and performance
• Hazard identification and dose-response relationship evaluation: Human and animal data for evaluating toxicity; Animal to human and low doses extrapolation; Toxicity reference values construction and choice
• Exposure assessment: Measuring and modeling, direct and indirect approaches; Indoor environment and Consumer exposure; Mu:timedia modeling
• Risk assessment: Risk indicators; Variability and uncertainty propagation with Monte Carlo techniques.

After theoretical overview of current knowledge and practice, a large part of time will be dedicated to work on PC for information searching, exposure modeling and risk calculations.
