Environmental risk analysts need to draw from a clear typology of uncertainties when qualifying risk estimates and/or significance statements about risk. However categorisations of uncertainty within existing typologies are largely overlapping, contradictory, and subjective, and many typologies are not designed [...]
By Evisa Kica* and Diana M. Bowman . 53 Jurimetrics J. 11–56 (2012).
This article analyzes the potential and the legitimacy implications of the standardization activities related to health and safety nanotechnology standards. In particular, it explores how the regulatory activities of the nanotechnology standardization developments can be analyzed and evaluated from the viewpoint of legitimacy.
