Background
In March 2010, the World Health Organization convened a Meeting on Strengthening Global Collaboration in Chemical Risk Assessment to discuss common interests, activities and needs in the field of chemical risk assessment and help shape future activities of the risk assessment community internationally. Participants identified a number of key issues and priority actions to address these needs, such as in the areas of:
capacity building/training,
chemical risk assessments/sharing knowledge,
risk assessment methodology and
research.
Meeting participants also discussed means of strengthening collaboration globally to support chemical risk assessment, including the recommended option of establishing a WHO International Risk Assessment Network.
