Which term matches An estimate of the probability and severity of loss from exposure to the health threat?

• A. Health Risk
• B. Health Threat
• C. Health Risk Estimate
• D. Exposure Assessment

Answer: (C)

Estimating health risk means combining how likely harm is with how severe the potential impact would be from exposure to a health threat. The term that captures this combined figure is health risk estimate. It turns the chance of an event and its potential losses into a quantified value that guides decisions. By contrast, health risk refers to the overall potential for harm rather than a specific quantified estimate; health threat denotes the hazard itself without quantification; exposure assessment focuses on measuring how much exposure occurs rather than the resulting risk estimate.
