The 1989 Annual Meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis
dramatically demonstrated one of the most important reasons for
having the Society - to bring together people with highly diverse
backgrounds and disciplines to assess the common problems of
societal and individual risks. The physical scientists emphasized
the analytical tools for assessing environmental effects and for
modeling risks from engineered systems and other human activities.
The health scientists presented numerous methods of analyzing
health effects, including the subject of dose-response
relationships, especially at low exposure levels - never an easy
analysis. The social and political scientists concentrated on
issues of risk perception, communication, acceptability, and human
touch. Others discussed such issues as cost-benefit analysis and
the risk-based approach to decision analysis. Use of risk
assessment methods for risk management continued to be a matter of
strong opinion and debate. The impacts of state and federal
regulations, existing and planned, were assessed in sessions and in
luncheon speeches. These impacts show that risk analysis
practitioners will have an increasingly important role in the
future. They will be challenged to provide clear, easily understood
evaluations of risk that are responsive to society's concern for
risk, as evidenced in laws and regulations. Of course, the various
risk analysis specialties overlapped in domains of interest.
