Sentence examples for risk benchmarks from inspiring English sources

Institutional money managers are more prone to short-term portfolio shifts, because they are usually judged on a quarterly basis and adjust their allocations to conform with risk benchmarks.

These results confirm the safety of stormwater application in toilet flushing, but call for further research to fill the data gaps in risk modeling as well as risk benchmarks.

Short exposure duration and less-protective cancer risk benchmarks.

City-wide average temporally adjusted springtime measurements of benzene correspond to concentrations between EPA's 1 in 10 and 10 lifetime cancer risk benchmarks [ 52].

In the 2008 above-reported study from China by Sun et al. [ 94], these risk benchmarks were surpassed at SF levels measured in the third quartiles among both male and female populations.

While risk benchmarks are based on continuous exposures experienced over a lifetime, these springtime results suggest HAPs may contribute meaningfully to cancer and other health risks among large populations of New Yorkers who reside in close proximity to traffic and other local emission sources.

The median and 95th percentile risk values of toilet-flushing using treated stormwater are below U.S. EPA annual risk benchmark of ≤ 10− 4 pppy, whereas the disease burdens of both toilet-flushing and showering are within the WHO recommended disease burdens of ≤ 10− 6 DALYs pppy.

Average formaldehyde levels in this study correspond to concentrations above the EPA 1 in 10 lifetime cancer risk benchmark [ 53].

Recent analyses suggest that 49% of New York City residents live in census tracts exceeding the 1 in 10,000 HAP-attributable cancer risk benchmark compared to 4.8% of the population nationwide, with the majority of the risk attributed to benzene and formaldehyde exposures [ 10, 11].

Age, body mass index, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and blood lead levels were used as covariates for estimated GFR. BMDs/BMDLs corresponding to an additional risk (benchmark response) of 5 or 10% were calculated (the background risk at zero exposure was set to 5%).

"The uncertainties in the exposure assessment are relatively small in comparison to the large uncertainty in the risk assessment benchmarks for these two substances, which makes the significance of benchmark exceedance very unclear," he explains.
