WHO Reports (2/2): Summary of Health Risk Assessment [Reference]_Figure

The WHO's health risk assessment was conducted for the purpose of examining the scopes of people to be subject to health management and diseases whose incidence should be monitored. This assessment was based on exposure doses estimated under considerably conservative assumptions in order to avoid underestimation. Accordingly, resulting values in this Report are for roughly ascertaining current risk levels and are not intended to predict future health effects.
