We are currently looking at how quantitative risk assessment is used. Doses can be in micrograms, morbidity can be in rates per hundred thousand exposed, mortality in 10 million exposed, and so forth. In this context, we are looking for citations, suggestions, URL's, etc. that address the issue of presenting to a LAY audience how to grasp the meaning of large and small numbers, e.g., 3E9, 1.4E-9, billions, millions, billionths, and millionths. The numerate community can be asked to recall how to deal with these numbers, but we will be addressing a lay audience and want to give them some help.
