Monitoring, strategy framework

The moiutoring framework should be designed to miiumize the iirfluence of such factors or to control for them in the analysis process. While no moiutoring strategy can account for all possible complexities, the authors believe this monitoring framework has identified the best currently available solutions to address problems created by these confounding factors.

But even a small-scale trial-and-error strategy has to be organised within society. As discussed in the previous section, iimovations are rather improbable and disadvantaged by stractural frameworks. Iimovations depend upon freedom for them to be developed. At the same time safety barriers have to be formulated within which the search process can move freely. For example, possible environmental effects must be anticipated, necessitating controlled release in small increments and retrievability must be ensured. (Quantitative and qualitative restrictions must be imposed so that retrieval and repair options can still be effective if a trial is aborted. This approach is more successful if the persistence and spatial range of a chemical is low than for persistent chemicals like CFCs and PCBs. This requires that limited Teaming spaces or experimentation spaces have to be created intentionally under technical and economic risk considerations. Small increments and a steady increase are to be preferred, accompanied by intensive monitoring of detectable consequences.
