Abstract
The purposes of this Article are: (1) to define the characteristics common to environmental risk problems; (2) to distinguish environmental risk from classical pollution problems of water and air pollution; (3) to highlight factors which make environmental risk problems particularly difficult to manage; and (4) to suggest a direction in management more suited to the characteristics of environmental risk and hence more likely to be effective than the current approach.
