摘要：
Siting decisions for hazardous waste incineration continue to be delayed and impeded by adverse public reaction. Improved public relations and education of the public about risks are the favoured approaches amongst many experts and the industry for allaying public concerns. This paper identifies the limited potential for such strategies and advocates instead attention to the whole risk management system for hazardous waste siting decisions. The paper's conclusions and recommendations arise from an examination of the nature, sources and impact of public concerns about incineration in the U.K. © 1992, Sage Publications.
