Integrated assessment

A multidisciplinary process of synthesizing knowledge across scientific disciplines with the purpose of providing all relevant information to decision makers to help to make decisions.

The integration takes place:

• integration across causal chains
• integration of aggregated indicators
• integration of outcomes: disease, money perception
• integration of many pollutants
• integration across many risk assessments
• integration across policy studies/areas
• integration across scientific disciplines
• integration across sources
• integration across pollutants/stressors
• integration across impacts/receptors
• integration across environmental media
• integration across scales
