Risk characterization is the integration of information on how much dose was received (from the exposure assessment Risk characterizations range from simply plugging a dose into dose response function to get a single "point estimate" of risk to more sophisticated efforts that consider uncertainty in model input parameters and variability across individuals and subpopulations.
