In recent times, reports on environmental pollution and its long-term impact on 
health, life and nature have forced scientific risk assessment to adopt a role as early

evaluating risks. There are also the emotional distortions mentioned above. The 
questions is, should officials take these into account when making decisions about

providing more information?
