For dichotomous data, we calculated a pooled estimate of risk ratio (RR) in the individual studies using a random-effects model according to Mantel and Haenszel and graphically represented these results using forest plot graphs.
There are number of criteria to evaluate these effects, such as severity, probability, and detectability, and often these criteria are then combined into an overall estimate of risk (Wang et al. 2009; Xiao et al. 2011).
These relate not only to ecosystem health, but may also be adapted in combination with quantified exposure assessments to provide an estimate of risk to the public and provide a third driver for remedial action.
