CVM’s three factors do not predict risk
The three factors of “Release”, “Exposure”, and “Consequence” (as interpreted by CVM) cannot logically or rationally be used to estimate or rank human health risks.
The key questions – how much harm does exposure cause (if any) and how would this change if a ban or intervention were implemented – are not addressed by these factors.
No expected correlation between “qualitative” risk ranking and “rational” (or quantitative) ranking
