 Abstract: A farm-level risk programming framework is presented
 which evaluates income/environmental risk tradeoffs. This
 framework uses a time-series of environmental risk indices to
 incorporate the stochastics, multiattribute characteristics of
 environmental outcomes associated with agricultural production
 practice. The model is applied to a representative farm in the
 Oklahoma Panhandle region of the Central High Plains. Results
 indicate that expected income is sensitive to nitrate loading
 restrictions, and relatively less sensitive to pesticide loading
 restrictions. Results also indicate that prescriptions derived
 using deterministic environmental risk measures may ignore
 significant probabilities of exceeding an environmental standard.

 Abstract: Hepatotoxins from blue-green algae are increasingly
 recognized as a potential hazard in drinking water supplies.  The
 clinical consequences of ingestion include acute or chronic liver
 injury, with the possibility of enhanced susceptibility to, and
 growth of, liver tumors.  To establish guidelines for water
 safety requires the demonstration of dose-dependent effects of
 toxicity and experimental determination of maximum
 "no-adverse-effect levels." This paper describes the use of
 growing pigs as a model for human injury resulting from
 Microcystis toxins in drinking water.  Risk assessment
 calculations using a series of safety factors are carried out,
 resulting in a guideline level after incorporating an additional
 safety factor for tumor promotion of approximately 1.0 microgram
 toxins/L. With the Microcystis used for this trial, that
 concentration corresponds to 5000 cells/mL.

 structure-activity-relationships; dose-responses
 Abstract: Toxicology and epidemiology are inextricably linked in
 recognizing and regulating chemical hazards. Although
 epidemiological studies are widely appreciated as the "gold
 standard" in human health risk assessment, for ethical reasons it
 is often impossible or unacceptable to base risk management
 decisions on human epidemiological data alone. The toxicological
 sciences identify potential hazards to human health by using
 experimental animal models, which act as surrogates to humans.
 This review provides an overview of toxicological risk assessment
 and its four principal components: hazard identification,
 dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk
 characterization. The contrast between risk characterization for
 threshold toxicants and that for nonthreshold toxicants, a major
 distinction in regulatory toxicology, is considered. Reliance on
 new and more sophisticated scientific tools at each stage of risk
 assessment continues to strengthen the scientific basis of the
 process.
