Inhaltsangabe
Examines the fundamental paradox underlying the tortured controversies about the Superfund, hurriedly established in 1980 to remediate abandoned hazardous waste sites: the public perceives such sites to be very dangerous, and the experts do not. Hird (political science, U. of Massachusetts) notes that both are true considering the difference in acceptable risk between those who might die and those who would have to pay. He looks at the political underpinnings of the project, its development, the various pressures on it, and how he thinks it should be changed. It comes up for review in 1994.
