| Description: |
A study of risk tradeoffs. The authors offer a set of case studies which demonstrate that all too often campaigns to reduce risks to our health and the environment are at war with themselves. |
| Synopsis: |
We confront these stories nearly every day: a drug hailed as a breakthrough treatment actually causes harmful side effects; controls implemented to reduce air pollution are shown to generate hazardous solid waste; bans on dangerous chemicals result in the introduction of even more risky substitutes. The authors marshal a set of case studies which demonstrate that all too often our nation's campaign to reduce risks to our health and the environment is at war with itself. |
