Certaiinty vs Uncertainty

[Guest guest]

Group,

The last two statements at the end of the following news article are

quite interesting. It points to the different types of information

and studies needed for science vs regulation, and ends with the

public role.

" There could be really good studies published, but those studies may

have been designed to answer questions similar to but not exactly the

same that the government needs to answer a regulatory question, "

Bradbury said.

" The ultimate decision is much bigger than science because it weighs

into public opinion and how certainties and uncertainties should be

balanced. "

Prove safety first? Or allow use until harm is proven? I would say

issues of the indoor environment have their fair share of certainties

and uncertainties.
