What Challenges are Faced in Health Risk Assessment?
Several challenges can complicate health risk assessment, including:
- Data quality and availability: Incomplete or inaccurate data can lead to erroneous conclusions. - Confounding factors: These are external variables that can influence the outcome and obscure the true relationship between the exposure and the health effect. - Uncertainty and variability: Differences in individual susceptibility and exposure levels can introduce uncertainty into risk assessments.
