The National Science Foundation, The National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health, and the Center for Technology and
Humanities at Georgia State University sponsored a two-day national
conference on Moral Issues and Public Policy Issues in the Use of
the Method of Quantitative Risk Assessment ( QRA) on September 26
and 27, 1985, in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the conference
was to promote discussion among practicing risk assessors, senior
government health officials extensively involved in the practice of
QRA, and moral philosophers familiar with the method. The
conference was motivated by the disturbing fact that distinguished
scientists ostensibly employing the same method of quantitative
risk assessment to the same substances conclude to widely varying
and mutually exclusive assessments of safety, depending on which of
the various assumptions they employ when using the method. In
short, the conference was motivated by widespread concern over the
fact that QRA often yields results that are quite controversial and
frequently contested by some who, in professedly using the same
method, manage to arrive at significantly different estimates of
risk.
