Regulators routinely extrapolate situations. Many scientists doubt whether a direct correlation is appropriate.
In addition to the obvious species, routes of exposure, and dose size differences, there is no reliable way to determine whether humans are more or less sensitive than test animals. Regulators may tend to overstate chemical and health risks in extrapolating animal data to humans, thereby placing undue regulatory pressure on chemical users and creating the impression that many chemicals are indeed carcinogenic. The most common concerns in developing countries include risks associated with pesticides and fertilizers, commonly used chemicals, and technologies used in agriculture and industry.
Cost-effective approaches and methods for risk analysis, increased risk communication, training and research are advocated. Risk analysis should receive greater emphasis in developing nations in order to safeguard future development. Marco, Robert M. The editors wish to place Ms. Carson's original concerns within the perspective provided by two decades of efforts to identify and manage environmental and human health threats. As such, this book, written by able scientists, is not so much a book of science as it is a book of policy, a retrospective on where science, technology, and policy have taken us in the past 25 years, and where we are likely to be headed in the future.
