Introduction to Probabilistic Modelling for the Assessment of Risk to
Human Health from Chemicals
Thursday 27th June 2002 : Leicester University
Co-sponsored by the British Toxicology Society and the Interdepartmental
Group on Health Risks
from Chemicals, this meeting is designed to introduce probabilistic
modelling as a tool for improving
the predictive value of chemical risk assessment. Designed to appeal
to individuals actively involved
in the risk assessment processes, it will include presentations by key
experts in the field and case
histories. To ensure a place, early registration is recommended.
