LEC Training Rooms 1 And 2

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a striking example of how a massive research effort has failed to end debate over a substance's toxicity, with governments alternately reassuring their publics about its safety or placing restrictions on its use, while scientists, expert committees, and industry and environment groups disagree about the risks it poses to health.

We will attempt to translate these into clear and practical messages for the catchment management community to serve as guidance on 'coping with uncertainty in decision-making'.
