A challenge facing society today is how to develop a meaningful
strategy for integrated hazardous waste management. Meeting this
challenge was the principal motivation for the conference on "Risk
Assessment and Risk Management Strategies for Hazardous Waste
Storage and Disposal Prob lems," held at the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania on May 18-19, 1988. The conference
brought together representatives from the major interested parties
- environmentalists, government, insurance, law, manufacturing, and
the university community - who have been con cerned with the waste
management process. The conference was the third cosponsored by the
Wharton Center for Risk and Decision Processes addressing the
knotty problem of hazardous waste. The first, held at the
International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in 1985,
examined the transportation, storage, and disposal of hazardous
materials. It suggested steps that industry, insurers, and gov
ernment agencies could take to improve the safety and efficiency
with which hazardous materials are produced and controlled in
industrialized societies. Specifically, it focused on the
risk-management tools of insurance, com pensation, and regulation.
xv xvi PREFACE The second conference, held at the Wharton School,
University of Penn sylvania in 1986, concentrated on the role of
insurance and compensation in environmental pollution problems. It
characterized a set of problems related to the environmental
pollution liability insurance crisis as presented by key interested
parties and proposed a set of research needs for providing a sound
basis for constructing socially appropriate measures to deal with
the problem."
