The Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) is a computer-based screening tool developed by EPA that analyzes risk factors to put Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) release data into a chronic health context. RSEI is often used by government regulators, communities, journalists, industry and others.

In light of the increased use of CRA by federal agencies, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked the National Research Council to convene an expert committee to develop and apply an evidence-based conceptual model and methods for ranking categories of products addressed by FDA programs. The conceptual model and methods were to focus on ranking product categories according to the ranges of magnitude of various potential health consequences to U.S. users of the products at the individual level and the population level, taking both adverse and beneficial effects into consideration. To accomplish its task, the committee was to include the following activities: consult with the sponsor to select FDA product categories to be ranked; consider products currently in use and near-term future products expected to come under FDA purview; review selected scientific literature bearing on adverse and beneficial health consequences; consider the scientific literature broadly to include social-science and economics literature, gray literature, and regulatory-policy literature; seek opportunities to assess health consequences in a way that allows results to be compared among broad product categories; identify information needed to address key uncertainties; assess the performance of the evidence-based model for ranking the selected product categories and identify next steps for model refinement; and where applicable and feasible, consider the potential effects on population health if risk-reduction strategies curtail the beneficial use of products.

Environmental Health has established itself as the most succinct and comprehensive textbook on the subject. This extensively revised and rewritten third edition continues this tradition by incorporating new developments and by adding timely coverage of topics such as environmental economics and terrorism. As in previous volumes, the new edition presents balanced assessments of environmental problems, examining their local and global implications, their short- and long-range impacts, and their importance in both developed and less developed countries of the world. The Third Edition also addresses emerging issues such as environmental justice, deforestation, the protection of endangered species, multiple chemical sensitivity, and the application of the threshold concept in evaluating the effects of toxic and radioactive materials. Whether discussing acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming, or more traditional subjects such as the management and control of air, water, and food, Dade Moeller emphasizes the need for a systems approach. As with previous volumes, Environmental Health, Third Edition, offers a depth of understanding that is without peer. While it covers technical details, it is also a book that anyone with an interest in the environment can pick up and browse at random.
