Abandoning 'responsive' GM risk assessment.
Concerns over the potential for GM crops to cause unwanted environmental change have spawned intense research activity. Studies have ranged in scope from small-scale laboratory experiments aiming to specify unwanted changes that could occur (hazard identification studies) through to large-scale initiatives designed to calculate the likelihood that a particular hazard will occur (exposure and risk assessment studies).
