A "risk analysis" is the process of arriving at a risk assessment, which is also called a "threat and risk assessment." A "threat" is a harmful act such as the deployment of a virus or illegal network penetration. Report on deca-BDE, though it will not be issued until March, after some recent studies are evaluated. BSEF says that the draft report concludes that deca-BDE does not present a risk to human health. BSEF: +32 2 733 93 70, www.bsef.com |
