# This is a risk management term. The acceptability of the risk depends on scientific data, social, economic and political factors, and the perceived benefits arising from exposure to an agent (WHO 2004).<br />
# The level of risk associated with minimal adverse effects (Symons et al. 2000).<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
Acceptable risk to the public is where there is generally willingness by the public to agree<br />
to and not oppose a risk. To the public an acceptable risk can be one that is not perceived<br />
to be high or likely to affect them personally or where the personal benefits are very high.<br />
<br />
For the professional risk manager the acceptability of the risk depends on its significance<br />
and countervailing benefits. Contributing factors include the quality of the scientific data<br />
that describes the risk, the likely validity of the risk assessment, the type of risk, the<br />
significance of the consequence, social, economic, and political factors, and the value of the<br />
assumed societal benefits arising from use of and exposure to an agent.<br />
<br />
==Example==<br />
For countries that use a stricter definition of the level of acceptable risk of carcinogens<br />
(such as 10<sup>-6</sup>), the tolerable loss will be proportionately lower (such as 10<sup>-7</sup> DALYs per<br />
person-year) (WHO 2006).<br />
