Risk Management and Hazardous Waste

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the treatment of uncertainties in risk management for hazardous wastes, the book presents five national case studies revealing how institutional uncertainties are often underestimated by regulatory bodies. It argues that these uncertainties stem from deeper structural conflicts rather than mere technical imprecision. The analysis suggests that regulatory standards are influenced by local contexts, advocating for increased social negotiation and public involvement. The work aims to inspire innovative thinking and practical solutions to pressing environmental challenges while addressing public acceptance issues.
