--# : Here could be a short definition about that why this assessment is done. --Salla 10:48, 6 February 2013 (EET)

1.1 question

What the negative impact of compound x on vegetable Y

--# : If x is fertilizer, we expect positive impacts. --Jouni 06:36, 21 January 2013 (EET)

--# : The question could be "what kind of impacts does compound x cause on vegetable y?" There could be added also a question like "Does the possible impacts restrict the use of the vegetable?" --Salla 10:52, 6 February 2013 (EET)

1.3 Participant

Expert in the toxicology of compounds

--# : Why are you planning an assessment with one participant only? Why do you leave others out? --Jouni 06:36, 21 January 2013 (EET)

--# : Here could be also, EVIRA and farmers and consumers. --Salla 11:00, 6 February 2013 (EET)--# : The company that produces the compound could be excluded because it might be partial. --Salla 11:02, 6 February 2013 (EET)

1.4 Decisions

Alternative compound will substituted according to the severity of the problem.

--# : Are those other compounds known? They should be listed here. --Jouni 06:36, 21 January 2013 (EET)

2 Answers

2.1 Result

Low impact observed according to the analysis

⇤# : We cannot know the results and conclusions before the analysis is done. --Jouni 06:36, 21 January 2013 (EET)

2.2 Conclusion

Compound x is suitable for vegetable Y

3 Rationale

According to the intensive field and lab work by our experts,we found that the application of compound x is suitable for vegetable y besides compound x found that ,environmentally friend.

--# : Assessments are about using all available information, not just performing a single new study. --Jouni 06:36, 21 January 2013 (EET)

Home work 3,

Last time I discussed out of range,now I would like focus on the climate change policy on Rotterdam city.

'Scope To examine the health impact due to the activities based on climate change in Rotterdam city , in connection to the level of PM.

Question

What are the level of particulate matter(PM) in the city? This can be done by taking data from various station(that measure PM) in the city.

Intended use and users?

The city of of Rotterdam Ministry of Environment of Netherlands Ministry of Health of Netherlands

These agents will organize the information they got from the assessment and act according to it.

Participants

Experts from...Environmental health area

Scenarios

Bisness as usual

Analysis

Bases on exposure modelling

   Results

Level of PM matter that can be inhale-able

   Conclusion

The activity of climate change in the city , can or can not have the potential impact, on the health based on the data of PM

   Rationale

    End points,

    =City council of Rotterdam
    =Ministry health of Netherlands

  In this case they are willing to get the final PM level especially with the limit value of exposure set by standard organizations( like WHO)
   
   Variables

  Particulate matter and
  Respiratory infection
  The level of PM and expected infection in the respiratory system
  Mainly children and elderly people considered as a special condition because of susceptible issue but all the population in the city also involved in the assessment of the health.
