Risk assessment is considered by many analysts to be an objective
scientific tool. It is considered to be variously influenced by
broader issues which in turn have important practical implications
both for risk assessors and decision makers. Risk Assessment and
Risk Management examines a range of practical applications of risk
assessment methods and risk management procedures in the broad
context of environmental science and technology. Written by
acknowledged experts in the field, the articles cover a variety of
areas, with reference to subjects as diverse as BSE, the use of
risk assessment in government, using computer modelling as an aid
to risk assessment in the case of accidental contamination of
rivers and estuaries, quantitative cancer risk assessment related
to carcinogens in the environment, landfilling of household wastes,
environmental risk assessment and management of chemicals, and
aquatic risk assessment and management of pesticides. This book
provides a detailed and wide-ranging review of the many aspects of
risk assessment and risk management which have excited so much
debate and controversy in recent times. It will be essential
reading for all those involved in the assessment and management of
risk, particularly in the context of environmental science.
