This is a reproduction of [write the name of the original assessment here] done as part of a course MVEN10 Risk assessment in environment and public health, Fall 2023.
The purpose of the project is to gain more understanding of the inputs and methodology of the original assessment, practice implementing and documenting a quantitative analysis, and practice performing a final assessment of overall uncertainty.
The results from this project should not be used to inform decision making.
Introduction
Describe the context and background of the original assessment and the assessment questions.
Add a section why this is a relevant topic today and introduce the additional assessment question task presented in the “At the end”-paragraphs for each project.
Data and methodology
Structure and type of the original assessment
Describe the type and structure of the original assessment. Refer to relevant guidance documents for this type of assessments.
Quantitative analysis
Describe the data and methods in the quantitative analysis that has been reproduced or added to the original assessment.
Add the code for the assessment as an appendix to the report.
Overall uncertainty assessment
Describe the approach to assess overall uncertainty regarding the answer to the “At the end”-question.
Add a report for the expert elicitation of the overall uncertainty assessment as an appendix.
Results
Assessment results
Present the results of the assessment questions, but replace the results from the original assessment with the results from the quantitative analysis.
Overall uncertainty
Present the outcome of the overall uncertainty assessment.
Conclusion
Make a short summary of the conclusion of the assessment.
Discussion
Discuss the following topics:
Challenges you encountered in reproducing the original assessment
Suggestions for making it easier to read a risk assessment and overcome some of the challenges encountered
Your view on the benefit and challenges in performing the assessment of overall uncertainty.
The assessment of overall uncertainty is the final main step of uncertainty analysis and is well described in the EFSA guidance for uncertainty analysis.
Take a moment to view section on overall uncertainty in the EFSA tutorial on uncertainty
