TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Risk analysis in hazardous industries JO - Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology A1 - Misra, V. A1 - Jaffery, F. N. A1 - Viswanathan, P. N. SP - 62 EP - 69 VL - 13 IS - 1 N2 - The importance of the approach of risk analysis in industry, as an anticipatory action to prevent disasters, and the principles involved in it are discussed. Toxicological considerations of long-term low-dose exposure during routine operations and short-term high-dose exposure after chemical accidents are outlined. On the basis of these concepts a rationale for preliminary assessment of disaster-prone industries is presented.
