It is not uncommon that a group of scientists from many different
disciplines join a working group, discuss a topic of interest and
edit a volume of articles related to this topic. They may even
agree on a jointly written introduction or conclusion . The study
group "Environmental Standards" established in 1987 as an expert
panel of the German Academy of Sciences and Technology in Berlin
broke with that common tradition and became involved in a
fascinating, but also pain-staking experiment to compose a document
on setting environmental standards that has been literally written
and authorized by all group members. The group consisted of eleven
individuals representing the following disciplines: physics,
chemistry, biology, engineering , law , psychology, and
sociology/economics. The study group had two major goals: First, to
provide a document that summarizes the state of the art in each
discipline with respect to the topic of environmental standards.
Since it is impossible to cover all environmental hazards in one
book, the panel members agreed to limit the discussion of the
scientific material to one major case study: the effects of
ionizing radiation. This topic was selected because the scientific
data base is well developed in this area and levels of
anthropogenic release can be compared with natural background
levels . These two conditions are rarely met by most chemical
hazards.
