What are the best ways to streamline the risk-assessment process, quantify risks in a spatially explicit manner, and acquire the kind of environmental data regulatory programs can use to effectively focus on future environmental protection activities? Steven E Bradbury at the U.S. EPA, Tom C. J. Feijtel of Procter & Gamble Services Company NV/SA (Belgium), and Cornells J. van Leeuwen at the European Commission explain.
