  "term": "Risk estimation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The quantitative determination of the probability and magnitude of adverse effects occurring due to exposure to a hazardous agent. This involves using mathematical models and statistical methods to predict the incidence of harm based on dose-response relationships and exposure levels. It provides a numerical value for the potential risk.",
