The benefits of using economy input-output life-cycle analysis (EIO-LCA) to estimate economy-wide discharges are significant. LCA is a systematic tool that is used to provide information on the consequences of alternative products and processes, thereby facilitating effective environmental decision-making. This is generally achieved...

Ecological risk assessment is important for environmental decision making because of the high cost of eliminating environmental risks associated with human activities and the necessity of making regulatory decisions in the face of uncertainty. Ecological risk assessment provides only a portion of the information required to make risk...

The distinction between the two activities has become an attractive means for understanding and improving upon the two fundamental processes involved in environmental decision making. This distinction was a major point in the National Academy of Sciences Report and is now being used by EPA. The response to the title of this subject is not either true or imaginad but more importantly how to assess the risk and then how to manage this risk. 

Though not specifically intended for use in environmental decision-making, the political philosophy of John Rawls, with its focus on benefiting the least well-off and protecting the most vulnerable, has been gaining influence since it emerged in 1971. 

Introduction to Environmental Toxicology and Its Role in Environmental Decision Making... 

Discuss the roles the general public plays in environmental decision making. 

Risk assessment deseribes the challenges to environmental decision-making today. Included in these challenges are a national tradition of narrowly focusing on separate environmental problems, the danger of deadlock on crucial environmental issues, and a divergence of public and scientific views on what are the most risky environmental problems.
