Abstract
Comprehensive assessments of safety and efficacy of medicinal products and risk assessment of pesticides, food additives, industrial chemicals, and others, have rarely been, if ever, undertaken in South America. Moreover, when risk estimates are used for risk management in South America, those estimates are drawn, in most instances, from studies conducted in industrialized countries which do not necessarily take relevant characteristics of the particular exposure scenarios into account.
