COMMITTEE
Who we are |
|
Coordinador: Darío Maggioni (Argentina) Secretario: Greivin Perez (Costa Rica) Secretaria Adjunta: Susana Briceño (Costa Rica) |
What we do |
|
El Comité de Evaluación de Riesgo (Risk Assessement Committe) perteneciente a RALACA es un comité científico-técnico ad-honorem integrado por profesionales e investigadores de distintos países de América Latina y el Caribe el cual tiene como principal objetivo contribuir con el desarrollo y la aplicación de metodologías para la evaluación de riesgos en alimentos. Desde sus comienzos ha orientado sus actividades hacia el tema específico de la evaluación de riesgo dietario para residuos de plaguicidas (dietary risk assessment for pesticide residues) el cual se considera de gran importancia habida cuenta del extendido uso que se hace de estas sustancias y del potencial impacto que pueden tener sobre la salud de la población. |
