7907 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Microbial Risk Assessment Thesaurus
URL: http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/humanhealth/microbial/thesaurus/
Format: HTML PDF
Federal and international agencies, private sector organizations, and academics use terms and definitions differently in their microbial risk assessments. This Thesaurus is a compendium of risk assessment terms found in frameworks, methodologies, and assessments. It provides insight into how various entities use specific microbial risk assessment terms in their activities and helps those responsible for such assessments both conduct and communicate about them more effectively. This Thesaurus was developed by the USEPA, Office of Water.
