Cumulative risk
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-002784
The combined probability of adverse health effects from exposure to multiple stressors, such as chemical agents, physical factors, or biological agents, over time. This assessment considers both the individual risks of each stressor and their potential interactions. Cumulative risk assessments are often conducted for environmental health evaluations.
