章节摘录

版权页：插图：Most decisions in life involve an analysis of two factors: risk and cost. We commonly ask such questions as "Hw likely is it that someone will be hurt？" and "What is the cost of this course of action？" Fur the rmore, these two factors are often interrelated. When we make economic decisions, we may be risking our hard earnedmoney. Risky decisions that lead to physical harm are often reduced to economic terms when medical care costs or legal fees are in curred.Environmental decision making is no different. Most environment aldecisions involve finding a balance between the perceived cost of en-during the risk and the economic cost of eliminating the conditions that pose the risk. If a new air-pollution regulation is proposed to re-duce the public's exposure to a chemical that is thought to cause disease in a small percentage of the exposed public, industry will besure to point out that it will cost a considerable amount of money to put these conlxols in place and will reduce profitability. Citizens alsomay point out that their tax money will have to support a larger governmental bureaucracy to ensure that the regulations are follo wed.On the other side, advocates will point out the new regulations willlead to reduced risk of illness and reduced health care costs for people who live in areas affected by the pollutant.
