Science of problems, science of solutions or both? A case example of bisphenol A
In October 2009, the US National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences announced 30 million dollars of funding for research on the hormone disrupting effects of bisphenol a (BPA).1 BPA is a building block of polycarbonate plastic and a widely used raw material for resins and coatings. The research focuses on the contribution of low-dose exposures of BPA to obesity, diabetes, reproductive disorders, asthma, cardiovascular disease and various…
Putting risk‐risk tradeoffs in perspective
The precautionary principle and risk‐risk tradeoffs
In this paper we examine cases commonly characterised as risk‐risk tradeoffs (i.e., creating new risks while solving existing ones), in an attempt to learn lessons that can be valuable for future regulatory decision‐making. A broad range of environmental and health literature was reviewed and numerous cases of proclaimed risk‐risk tradeoffs were analysed in order to determine: 1) why regulatory measures were initially taken, 2) why these measures…
Chemicals regulation and precaution
The precautionary principle stimulus for solutions- and alternatives-based environmental policy
The Precautionary Principle and Public Health Trade-offs
During the summer of 1999, the West Nile Virus, a mosquito-borne virus, made its first appearance in North America. Public health officials throughout New England were forced to quickly respond to a novel threat, in many cases resorting to pesticide spraying that carried real but uncertain risks. This article explores the tensions faced by public health officials when making decisions regarding uncertain risks, particularly when there might be tr…
