  "term_source": "Risk by Type",
  "definition": "1. The probability of adverse effects resulting from exposure to an environmental agent.\n\n2. The likelihood that adverse ecological or human health effects may occur or are occurring as a result of exposure to one or more stressors.\n\n3. The likelihood that an individual will experience a certain event.\n\n4. Probability of injury, disease or death from exposure to a hazard. Radiation risk may refer to all excess cancers caused by radiation exposure (incidence risk ) or only excess fatal cancers (mortality risk). Risk may be expressed as a percent, a fraction, or a decimal value. For example, a 1% excess risk of cancer incidence is the same as a 1 in a hundred (1/100) risk or a risk of 0.01.",
