T1  - Physics of Open Systems: A New Approach to Use Genomics Data in Risk Assessment
N2  - This book presents a collection of health risk assessments for known and emerging hazards that span a continuum.  Case studies for existing health risks include psychoactive drug usage in delivery truck drivers and using look-back risk assessment for accidental syringe re-use in healthcare settings.  Case studies for emerging risks include precautionary actions to safeguard blood supplies; nanoparticle deposition in the lung; and the epistemic issues surrounding genetically modified organism risk assessments.  The final section of the book deals with advancing health risk assessment analyses through a post-genomics lens and provides case studies on personalized genomics, new data analyses and improving in silico models for risk assessment.  These case studies provide much insight into the ongoing evolution of health risk assessments.
