Technical Workshop on Probabilistic Exposure Assessment
November 9, 2023
Washington, DC, United States
Despite significant advances in risk assessments of foods and ingredients, exposure assessments tend to rely on deterministic approaches utilizing very conservative inputs. This workshop will focus on probabilistic exposure assessments which move away from single-point, deterministic exposure inputs.
