"Thought-provoking and offers fuel for debate on this complex topic....The book can be easily read and understood by both the technical and nontechnical reader, and is recommended to those involved in the science of toxicology, regulators, and the legal profession."--Journal of the Instituteof Environmental Sciences, "A detailed and absorbing piece of research that demonstrates the immense practical importance of ethical theories."--Times Higher Education Supplement, will usefully introduce ... philosophically unsophisticated readers to some key normative and epistemological issues in environmental policy ... and will usefully introduce philosophical readers to both empirical and philosophical problems and issues in regulatory science". David Copp, University of California, "A thoughtful analysis of the scientific and philosophical issues arising in the context of toxic substance regulation....Should be read by all those interested in administrative law and tort law and who are involved in regulating toxic substances or in litigating toxic tortcases....Thought-provoking and persuasive."--Harvard Journal of Law and Technology, "The author is uniquely qualified to examine these issues....In addition to developing his own view, the author provides a wealth of historical information about how risk has been managed in our society. Highly recommended for both academics who study risk and professionals who perform andimplement risk analyses."--Choice, "An important contribution to the interdisciplinary review of public policy, primarily in its examination of the assumptions and implications of contemporary risk assessment practices in judicial and regulatory settings."--Ethics, "Strong in its analysis of science, law, and philosophy, Cranor compellingly demonstrates that the amount of science required in public decisions about toxic substances is an important philosophical issue. This book should both help clarify the debate about toxic substance and restore ethical reasoning to its central place of importance in public discourse about the hazards of toxic substances."--Environmental Law Forum, "Strong in its analysis of science, law, and philosophy, Cranor compellingly demonstrates that the amount of science required in public decisions about toxic substances is an important philosophical issue.

It deserves a place on yourbookshelf."--Shepard's Expert and Scientific Evidence Quarterly, "An extraordinary contribution in uncovering the ethical and normative questions hidden in the regulatory debate about hazardous substances. After looking closely at the scientific questions, Dr. Cranor shows why regulatory and legal decisionmaking about toxic substances must be understoodprimarily as normative in character. This book will help both to bring clarity to the debate about toxic substances and restore ethical reasoning to its appropriate central position in public discourse about environmental hazards."--Donald A.

Synopsis
The proliferation of chemical substances in commerce poses scientific and philosophical problems. The scientific challenge is to develop data, methodologies, and techniques for identifying and assessing toxic substances before they cause harm to human beings and the environment. The philosophical problem is how much scientific information we should demand for this task consistent with other social goals we might have. In this book, Cranor utilizes material from ethics, philosophy of law, epidemiology, tort law, regulatory law, and risk assessment, to argue that the scientific evidential standards used in tort law and administrative law to control toxics ought to be evaluated with the purposes of the law in mind. Demanding too much for this purpose will slow the evaluation and lead to an excess of toxic substances left unidentified and unassessed, thus leaving the public at risk. Demanding too little may impose other costs. An appropriate balance between these social concerns must be found. Justice requires we use evidentiary standards more appropriate to the legal institutions in question and resist the temptation to demand the most intensive scientific evaluation of each substance subject to legal action., The proliferation of chemical substances in commerce poses scientific and philosophical problems. The scientific challenge is to develop data, methodologies, and techniques for identifying and assessing toxic substances before they cause harm to human beings and the environment. The philosophical problem is how much scientific information we should demand for this task consistent with other social goals we might have. In this book, Cranor utilizes material fromethics, philosophy of law, epidemiology, tort law, regulatory law, and risk assessment, to argue that the scientific evidential standards used in tort law and administrative law to control toxics oughtto be evaluated with the purposes of the law in mind. Demanding too much for this purpose will slow the evaluation and lead to an excess of toxic substances left unidentified and unassessed, thus leaving the public at risk. Demanding too little may impose other costs. An appropriate balance between these social concerns must be found. Justice requires we use evidentiary standards more appropriate to the legal institutions in question and resist the temptation to demand the most intensivescientific evaluation of each substance subject to legal action., In this paperback reprint of a book originally published in 1993, Carl Cranor argues that the scientific and statistical criteria usually used to determine whether substances are toxic are too rigorous and time-consuming for evidentiary purposes in tort cases and for regulation. This results in the underregulation of toxic substances and the undercompensation of plaintiffs in tort cases. Cranor proposes that the evidential standards now used should be evaluated with the purposes of the law in mind. The choice of standards is, in effect, a choice between economic costs to society and health costs to individuals. Cranor argues persuasively that justice requires that priority be given to avoiding the latter.
