This volume constitutes the papers and discussions from a symposium
on "Societal Risk Assessment: How Safe is Safe Enough?" held at the
General Motors Research Laboratories on October 8-9, 1979. This
symposium was the twenty-fourth in an annual series sponsored by
the Research Laboratories. Initi ated in 1957, these symposia have
as their objective the promotion of the interchange ofknowledge
among specialists from many allied disciplines in rapidly
developing or changing areas ofscience or technology. Attendees
characteristically represent the academic, government, and
industrial institutions that are noted for their ongoing activities
in the particular area of interest. The objective of this symposium
was to develop a balanced view of the current status of societal
risk assessment's role in the public policy process and then to
establish, if possible, future directions of research. Accordingly,
the symposium was structured in two dimensions; certainty versus
uncertainty and the subjective versus the objective. Furthermore,
people representing extremely diverse discip lines concerned with
the perception, quantification, and abatement of risks were brought
together to provide an environment that stimulated the exchange of
ideas and experiences. The keys to this exchange were the invited
papers, arranged into four symposium sessions. These papers appear
in this volume in the order of their presentation. The discussions
that in turn followed from the papers are also included."
