Redressing The Silent Interim: Precautionary Action & Short Term Tests In Toxicological Risk Assessment, Timothy Riley
Redressing The Silent Interim: Precautionary Action & Short Term Tests In Toxicological Risk Assessment, Timothy Riley
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The author recommends that a stronger emphasis be placed on creating and implementing short-term tests that use iterative, conservative-based, tiered procedures in conjunction with a precautionary attitude during the interim phase of toxicological risk assessments.
Psychosocial Risks Of Storing And Using Human Tissues In Research, Jon F. Merz
Psychosocial Risks Of Storing And Using Human Tissues In Research, Jon F. Merz
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Merz argues that genetics technology makes it more compelling that researchers plan more carefully for the collection and disposition of information derived from subjects' tissues and blood.
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.
How Some Risk Frameworks Disenfranchise The Public, Kristin Shrader-Frechette
How Some Risk Frameworks Disenfranchise The Public, Kristin Shrader-Frechette
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The author responds to recent characterizations of her work.
From Comparative Risk To Decision Analysis: Ranking Solutions To Multiple-Value Environmental Problems, John Kadvany
From Comparative Risk To Decision Analysis: Ranking Solutions To Multiple-Value Environmental Problems, John Kadvany
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
While recognizing that the making of environmental policy is sufficiently complex that no one method can serve all conditions, Dr. Kadvany urges that more attention be given to multiattribute utility and decision analysis. He suggests this can help, e.g., to illuminate stakeholder values and generate alternative approaches.
Present Risk, Future Risk Or No Risk - Measuring And Predicting Perceptions Of Health Risks Of A Hazardous Waste Landfill, William K. Hallman, Abraham H. Wandersman
Present Risk, Future Risk Or No Risk - Measuring And Predicting Perceptions Of Health Risks Of A Hazardous Waste Landfill, William K. Hallman, Abraham H. Wandersman
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Given that perceived risk is multidimensional, the authors seek better understanding by focusing on health risks and, more particularly, on their temporality. In this way, they attempt to measure more meaningfully psychological influences on risk perceptions.
Evaluating The Expertise Of Experts, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette
Evaluating The Expertise Of Experts, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Professor Shrader-Frechette maintains that a rigid distinction between risk assessment and risk management is unwise. Concerned about procedural fairness, she argues that the public should have a voice in both.
Congressional Risk Proposals, Dalton G. Paxman
Congressional Risk Proposals, Dalton G. Paxman
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Paxman relates how an ambitious environmental agenda supported by the Administration and many members of the 103d Congress was ultimately derailed. He associates this with an apparently ever-growing interest in risk assessment.
Rapa And Risk, Dalton G. Paxman, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette, Thomas G. Field Jr.
