Risk modules

Exposures and hazard characterisations are compared in risk estimates.

• Risks
• Single value risks

In a low tier, the calculated ratio is equal to the traditional Margin Of Exposure (MOE). By including assessment factors in the hazard characterisations, the MOE can be generalised to account internally for e.g. interspecies and intraspecies uncertainty, making 1 the relevant limit for risk assessment. By using probabilistic tiers for exposure and hazard characterisation, the MOE is further generalised to a distribution of Integrated Margins Of Exposure (IMOEs), as described in [van der Voet et al., 2007] and [van der Voet et al., 2009].
