Terminology 术语 ERA Framework 环境风险评估框架 Application of ERA to GE Crops 环境风险评估在转基因农作物中的应用

3 Risk 风险 The joint consideration of exposure and the consequence of exposure 同时考虑暴露和暴露的后果 Risk = f (hazard, exposure) 风险= 函数 (危险, 暴露) The likelihood of harm to be manifested under realistic conditions of exposure 危害的可能性在暴露的实际条件下得以清楚地展 现

4 Risk Assessment 风险评估 The use of factual information to define the effects of exposure of individuals or populations [to stressors or actions] 利用事实信息定义个人或群体暴露于[刺激或者行为]的结果 after, Risk Assessment in the Federal Government: Managing the Process, NRC, 1983 联邦政府的风险评估: 管理程序, NRC, 1983 The process used to systematically evaluate and organize data, information, assumptions, and uncertainties in order to help understand and predict the relationships between stressors [or actions] and ecological effects in a way that is useful for environmental decision making 步骤用来系统评估和组织数据, 信息, 假设和不确定因子,利于帮助理解和预测刺激或行为和生态结果之间的关系, 这些对于环境决策是有用的.

5 ERA is a part of Risk Analysis 环境风险评估是风险分析的一部分

6 The risk assessment process
风险评估步骤 links to the risk management process 和风险决策步骤联系 follows well established frameworks 在建立好的框架之后 sets overall assessment goals 建立总体评估目标 recursive 递归性的 proceeds in tiers 阶梯性前进 quantitative to the fullest extent possible 定量地达到全面可能性

7 Risk assessment links research to risk management 风险评估是研究和风险决策的桥梁
Data Acquisition, Verification, & Monitoring 数据的获得, 证明, 和监控 Problem Formulation 问题定义 Exposure & effects Characterization 暴露和结果描述 Risk 风险描述 Risk Management 风险控制 Risk Assessment 风险评估

8 ERA 环境风险评估 Ecological or Environmental ? 生态还是环境?
The term Environmental Risk Assessment is common for GE crops 环境风险评估是转基因农作物的常用词汇 An outgrowth of the widely recognized process of Ecological Risk Assessment 被广泛认同的生态风险评估所带来的结果

9 ERA 环境风险评估 “the process that evaluates the likelihood that adverse ecological effects may occur or are occurring as a result of exposure to one or more stressors [or actions]” “这是评价暴露于一个或多个刺激[或者行为]后, 负面的生态后果的可能性的过程” Framework for Ecological Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Forum, USEPA (1992) EPA/630/R-92/001 生态风险评估框架 风险评估论坛, 美国环保局部(1992) 环保局/630/R-92/00 Guidelines for Ecological Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Forum, USEPA (1998) EPA/630/R-95/002F 环保风险评估纲要

10 Keys to Regulatory Success 管理成功的关键
Use an ERA framework 利用环境风险评估的框架 Flexibility – the case-by-case paradigm 灵活性- 个案不同原则 Focus – use of problem formulation to prioritize concerns 焦点- 利用问题组建有限考虑焦点 Emphasis – consequential concerns 重点-对结果的关注

11 Principles of ERA have been developed and in use for about 25 years 环境风险评估的原则 已经在美国发展和应用了二十五年

12 Framework approach 框架的形成
a hypothetical description of a complex process 一个复杂过程的假设性描述 a logical process for organizing complex information 一个组织复杂信息的逻辑过程 a road map 一个总体的计划

13 Goals of ERA Framework 环境风险评估结构的目标 (Bartenhouse, 2006)
develop a unified conceptual approach to environmental assessment 发展一个统一概念性方法来评估环境 facilitate cooperation/collaboration between assessment-related disciplines 在评估相关的原则方面帮助建立合作 increase transparency of risk assessments to users (risk managers) 对风险管理者增加风险评估的透明度 provide standardized tools & techniques 提供统一标准的工具和技术 dispel perception that ecological risk assessment is impossible 推翻认为环境风险评估不可能的错误观点

14 The risk assessment process 风险评估步骤
Risk Conclusion 风险结论 Effects Characterization 结果描述 Hazard Identification 危害的辨别 Measures of Effects 测量结果 Risk Characterization 风险描述 Exposure Assessment 暴露的评估 Problem Formulation 问题建立 Exposure Characterization 暴露描述

15 ERA for GE crops … 对转基因农作物的环境风险评估
is consistent with the framework for RA 和危险评估的框架是一致的 however, complexities exist due to 但是, 还存在着复杂性, 因为 relatively recent technology 比较前沿的技术 biological information is not fully quantifiable 生物信息没有完全的得到认证 two perspectives as to concerns 还要需要考虑的两方面 effect of stressor on individuals and populations 刺激对个人和群体的影响 effect of deployment on populations and communities 对群体和社区发展的影响

16 General philosophy toward ERA for GE crops 对转基因农作物进行环境风险评估的一般性原理
weight of evidence based on comprehensive evaluation of data 证据的权重建立在对数据的综合评价上 proceed from general understanding to specific entities of concern 从总体理解到具体事例的前进 support findings with quantitative data and analyses to the fullest extent possible 利用量化的数据分析全面各种可能性,从而支持新的发现 risk based findings focus on harm that may be manifested at environmentally relevant exposures 风险侧重于在环境相关的暴露后引起的危害性 seek a determination of reasonable certainty of no harm to the environment 寻找合理对环境无害的方法

17 ERA for GE Crops 对转基因农作物的环境风险评估
Identification of potential adverse effect  潜在危害的认识 Estimation of likelihood OF EXPOSURE 暴露可能性的预测 Terms used: 术语的应用 Highly likely 高度可能性 Likely 可能性 Unlikely不可能性 Highly unlikely 高度不可能性 Evaluation of consequence 暴露结果的评价 术语应用 Major 主要 Intermediate 中等 Minor 次要 Marginal 边缘 Estimation of the risk  风险的预测 High 高度 Moderate 中度 Low 低度 Negligible 可忽略的 Hazard Identification  风险的辨识 Exposure Characterization 暴露描述 Effects (Hazard) Characterization 结果(危害) 描述 Risk Characterization 风险描述 weight-of-evidence 事实的分量 holistic 整体的 strong emphasis on exposure 强调暴露

18 农作物发展对生态业务在田野或地区中的影响
GE ERA follows a tiered scheme 转基因农作物环境风险评估遵照台阶式的程序 Lab(实验) extended lab (延长实验) semi field (半田地) field (田地) landscape(地区) “direct” “直接” “indirect” “间接” Toxicological risk (毒理方面的风险) Ecological harm 生态方面的害处 stressor-mediated effects 刺激影响的结果 action-mediated effects 行为调节的结果 protein toxin effect on a putative sensitive NTO 蛋白毒性对公认敏感的NTO影响 crop deployment effect on ecological services within a landscape or region 农作物发展对生态业务在田野或地区中的影响

19 Risk assessment is recursive and proceeds in tiers 风险评估是递归的，并且呈阶梯状发展
第四级 Tier IV 非常保守的假设用来剔除可以忽略的风险 确定的 单一现场（一般化的） 数据缺乏 高度的不确定性 第三级 Tier III Most refined assessment stochastic (probabilistic) multiple scenario (regional) data rich uncertainty and variability defined highly refined exposure assumptions verified by monitoring 第二级 Tier II 第一级 Tier I 最高精度的评估 随机的（概率的） 多处现场（区域的） 丰富的数据 明确定义的不确定性和变化度 非常纯净的暴露 被监控验证的假设 Extremely conservative assumptions to screen out negligible risks deterministic single scenario (generalized) data poor high uncertainty

20 Tiers of assessment & Tiers of testing 评估和测试的阶梯状发展
重要度 不确定度 ... 出现在低级别的评估中, 促使人们使用更高级的数据生成和评估手段 level of concern degree of uncertainty … arising from a lower tier of assessment drives the need to move toward a higher tier of data generation and assessment 第四级 评估 Tier I Tier II Tier III Tier IV Lab PIP diet Expected dose Long-term Lab Semi-field Field Assessment Testing 第三级 测试 农田试验 第二级 长期实验 局部农田试验 第一级 实验 食物 期望的剂量 实验 微生物蛋白 高剂量 Lab Microbial protein High dose
