Regulating Toxic Substances: A Philosophy of Science and the Law - Environmental Ethics and Science Policy Series
Cranor, Carl F. (Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of California)
The author of this text argues that the criteria used to determine substance toxicity are too rigorous and time-consuming for use in tort cases and for regulation. This results in under-regulation and under-compensation of plaintiffs in tort cases. He proposes a re-evaluation with the law in mind.
