| Problem Formulation in the Environmental Risk Assessment for Genetically Modified Plants |
| Journal Article 2009 |
Abstract: Problem formulation is the first step in environmental risk assessment (ERA) where policy goals, scope, assessment, endpoints, and methodology are distilled to an explicitly stated problem and approach for analysis. The consistency and utility of ERAs for genetically modified (GM) plants can be improved through rigorous problem formulation (PF), producing an analysis plan that describes relevant exposure scenarios and the potential consequences of these scenarios. A properly executed PF assures the relevance of ERA outcomes for decision-making. Adopting a harmonized approach to PF should bring about greater uniformity in the ERA process for GM plants among regulatory regimes globally. This is paper is the product of an expert group convened by the ILSI Research Foundation.
