| Description: |
Addresses the moral, scientific, and commercial questions inherent in hazards management. This work discusses about regulating hazards that arise from chronic, low-level exposures and from low-probability events when science is unable to assign causes. It examines fairness in the distribution of risks and benefits of hazardous technologies. |
| Synopsis: |
"In the burgeoning literature on technological hazards, this volume is one of the best," states Choice in a three-part approach, it addresses the moral, scientific, social, and commercial questions inherent in hazards management. Part I discusses how best to regulate hazards arising from chronic, low-level exposures and from low-probability events when science is unable to assign causes or estimate consequences of such hazards; Part II examines fairness in the distribution of risks and benefits of potentially hazardous technologies; and Part III presents practical lessons and cautions about managing hazardous technologies. Together, the three sections put hazard management into perspective, providing a broad spectrum of views and information. |
