Abstract

In this discussion, learn about the application of risk assessment, efficiencies and deficiencies of the tool, legal challenges to the EPA’s application of risk assessment, how the tool has evolved over presidential administrations, what the future of risk assessment may look like in the Biden Administration, and how stakeholders influence the risk assessment process. As various federal environmental statutes rely on risk assessment to support environmental decision-making, it is important to understand how it functions and risk assessment’s implications for the future.
