This volume contains the proceedings of the 1986 annual meeting and
conference of the Society for Risk Analysis. It provides a detailed
view of both mature disciplines and emerging areas within the
fields of health, safety, and environmental risk analysis as they
existed in 1986. In selecting and organizing topics for this
conference, we sought both (i) to identify and include new ideas
and application areas that would be of lasting interest to risk
analysts and to users of risk analysis results, and (ii) to include
innovative methods and applications in established areas of risk
analysis. In the three years since the conference, many of the
topics presented there for the first time to a broad risk analysis
audience have become well developed-and sometimes hotly
debated-areas of applied risk research. Several, such as the public
health hazards from indoor air pollutants, radon in the home,
high-voltage electric fields, and the AIDS epidemic, have been the
subjects of headlines since 1986. Older areas, such as hazardous
waste site ranking and remediation, air emissions dispersion
modeling and exposure assessment, transportation safety, seismic
and nuclear risk assessment, and occupational safety in the
chemical industry, have continued to receive new treatments and to
benefit from advances in quantitative risk assessment methods, as
documented in the theoretical and methodological papers in this
volume. A theme of the meeting was the importance of new
technologies and the new and uncertain risks that they create.
