“…as possible losses that will not occur) produced stronger intentions to act. Frewer et al (2008) have used the Theory of Planned Behavior to identify potential determinants of end-user adoption of PRA associated with the ecotoxicological effects of pesticides. The categories of end-users considered were academic, government, industry, and consultancy organizations.…”

Methods of uncertainty analysis are being included increasingly in regulatory chemical risk assessment. Although best practices have been established by several safety agencies in Europe and the United States, they exist only in the grey literature - there has been no comprehensive analysis of the scientific, peer-reviewed literature on these methods. We therefore conducted a systematic review of the recent peer-reviewed literature (2007-2013) on uncertainty analysis relevant to chemical risks. The main objective was to determine whether current methods are robust enough for regulatory use, because the methods used to protect public health must meet the most stringent scientific standards. Based on 297 papers, we concluded that the peer-reviewed literature is much more critical about the disadvantages of those methods, compared to the grey literature. Furthermore, uncertainty analyses can be influenced significantly by subjective expert judgment. As a suggested improvement, we developed guidelines for transparent reporting of uncertainty assessment results.

“…The environmental relevance and the operational use have been tested by the manager of the catchment for the PHYLOU tools and by 50 winegrowers for the I-Phy-Bvci indicator (Table 6). These users are sensitized to a realistic consideration of the agricultural practices and to the clarity of the model outputs (Frewer et al 2008). In the models whose objective is to enable a sensitization of the farmers (PHYLOU, I-Phy-Bvci, SACADEAU), the agricultural practices are often much more detailed than the physicochemical models.…”

“…A case study was conducted using the Theory of Planned Behavior to determine if the adoption of probabilistic risk assessments (PRA) by end-users and decision makers is feasible. Frewer et al (2008) determined that in order for PRA to be adopted, training Health data (lung cancer mortality) from a population exposed to ionizing radiation from a uranium processing facility was used to demonstrate the outcome of combining information to create more accurate estimates.…”

This literature review covers the risk assessment process and addresses both ecological and human receptors. The review covers the risk assessment literature including methodology, analysis, interpretation, management, uncertainty, policy, and regulatory guidance. The review is divided into ecological and human health sections. The focus of the review is on the risk assessment process as it is applied to ecological systems and human health, site investigation and remediation, and natural resources. The objective is to provide an overview of the scope of the literature published in 2008.
