Risk assessment and management of chemicals present in the human environment are crucially important to prevent potential human health crises. The chemicals in question are generally classified into several categories (such as food additives, pesticide residues, pollutants, pharmaceuticals and industrial products) and are assessed and managed according to pertinent laws and other international and domestic rulings. In most cases, guidelines are established to ensure that processes of risk assessment and management are appropriate. The present issue of the journal features expert contributions covering the processes of risk assessment and management to avoid adverse health impacts of the various categories of chemicals encountered in the human environment.
