The Regulation And Development Of Bioremediation, Susan J. Timian, D. Michael Connolly
The Regulation And Development Of Bioremediation, Susan J. Timian, D. Michael Connolly
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors describe how federal statutes regulating hazardous wastes create both incentives and disincentives for exploiting the large potential of bioremediation. Ultimately, they argue for regulation attending more to comparative risks and costs.
Fairness And Siting: Introduction To A Symposium, Joanne Linnerooth-Bayer, Ragnar E. Löfstedt
Fairness And Siting: Introduction To A Symposium, Joanne Linnerooth-Bayer, Ragnar E. Löfstedt
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The symposium editors note that, while there is no recipe for successful siting, some of the critical ingredients are identified here.
Risk Perception And Trust: Challenges For Facility Siting, Howard Kunreuther, Paul Slovic, Donald Macgregor
Risk Perception And Trust: Challenges For Facility Siting, Howard Kunreuther, Paul Slovic, Donald Macgregor
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors maintain that, by granting legitimacy to different notions of fairness and building on common values such as responsibility, it is possible to design siting procedures that promote social cohesion, trust and a sense of fair play.
Unsiteability: What Should It Tell Us?, Michael Thompson
Unsiteability: What Should It Tell Us?, Michael Thompson
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Thompson argues that if rich countries can effortlessly be rid of noxious wastes, they will not receive signals encouraging better lines of development - by market, as well as hierarchical and egalitarian, criteria.
Public Perceptions About Equity & Fairness: Siting Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facilities In The U.S. And Hungary, Anna Vari
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Based on comparative research, Dr. Vari recommends, e.g., that main actors' views about criteria for processes and outcomes be explored and that agreement be negotiated before a siting process is planned.
