Media Coverage Of Epa's Draft Dioxin Reassessment Report, Sharon M. Friedman, Megan A. Fitzpatrick, Brenda P. Egolf
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Using content analysis, the authors examine the utility of news media in democratic decision making.
Pigford, Shrader-Frechette & The Nrc Report On Yucca Mountain: Comment, David Okrent
Pigford, Shrader-Frechette & The Nrc Report On Yucca Mountain: Comment, David Okrent
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Okrent raises several questions related to, e.g., the uneven application of the goal of intergenerational equity.
Strategy For Cost-Effective Reduction Of The Sum Of Health Risk Estimates For Exposures To Mixtures Of Toxic Substances, David W. Gaylor, James J. Chen
Strategy For Cost-Effective Reduction Of The Sum Of Health Risk Estimates For Exposures To Mixtures Of Toxic Substances, David W. Gaylor, James J. Chen
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors argue that a minimization approach can provide guidance for effective use of funds to reduce the sum of estimated risks or the upper limit of the sum of risk estimates for mixtures of chemicals.
The Normative Nature Of Risk Assessment: Features And Possibilities, Carl F. Cranor
The Normative Nature Of Risk Assessment: Features And Possibilities, Carl F. Cranor
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Cranor argues that appreciating risk assessment to be permeated with normative presuppositions, in contrast with being primarily objective, opens up unforeseen possibilities for risk management.
Trace Substances, Science And Law: Perspectives From The Social Sciences, James F. Short Jr.
Trace Substances, Science And Law: Perspectives From The Social Sciences, James F. Short Jr.
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Using advances in analytical technology as a point of departure, Dr. Short reviews what social science research reveals about perceptions, decision making processes and behaviors of organizations and individuals who try to cope with risk and uncertainty.
Identifying Chemical Hazards For Regulation: The Scientific Basis And Regulatory Scope Of California's Proposition 65 List Of Carcinogens And Reproductive Toxicants, William S. Pease
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Noting that the Proposition 65 list has become an authoritative source for hazard identification, Dr. Pease examines its legislative, regulatory and scientific origins. After analyzing the California approach, he offers suggestions for better selection of future regulatory targets.
Coke Oven Emissions: A Case Study Of Technology-Based Regulation, John D. Graham, David R. Holtgrave
Coke Oven Emissions: A Case Study Of Technology-Based Regulation, John D. Graham, David R. Holtgrave
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
After examining and analyzing the experience with coke ovens, the authors conclude that attempts to force technology beyond its demonstrated competence can be both expensive and ineffective in controlling hazards. They also suggest implications for pending proposals to further control air pollution.
