Objective

• To introduce the concepts of hazard and risk
• To introduce the concept of “safe exposure”
• To introduce the concept of chemicals causing an effect (cancer) for which no “safe exposure” exists because no threshold exposure can be identified
• To introduce “exposure guidelines” and their possible limitations
