A generalized eight-step flowchart describing the processes involved in assessing risk using a source-to-dose-to-effect framework, adapted from Georgopoulos et al.(37) this is also referred to as person-oriented population-based exposure modeling (POM/PBEM). This flowchart reflects the structure of the MENTOR approach and provides a general “template” for comparing the application of risk assessment systems. A subset of the models appearing in this flowchart has been used in this study.
