Abstract
Risk evaluation concerning health and environment products used qualitative after semi-quantitative information; now it uses a well defined and rigorous methodology and quantitative information. It aims at elaborating rules in order to protect a population on the basis of a quantified residual risk, which is considered as acceptable. But it remains a lot of uncertainties which are at the origin of differences between acceptable maximum concentrations determined by different ways.
