Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.18, no.11, p.58 (1981). This is the second of two articles on risk assessment. In the first, the author developed a framework for thinking about risk. In this framework, two processes-exposures and effects, at left in figure-act upon natural processes and human activities to produce some effect or change. The other two processes-perception and evaluation-act upon this change and develop some notion of risk through costs and benefits, and this is developed upon.
