These case studies were reviewed by experts in the field of environmental, occupational, and consumer hazards and the authors were asked to identify dates of early warning signs, how this data was used or not used to reduce hazards, and finally to describe the resulting costs, benefits, and lessons that could be drawn from the case study. The editorial team then distilled these findings into twelve &quot;lessons&quot; to be used for future technologies. The report also looks at the potential application of the precautionary principle in cases of this sort, in a way to contribute to debates about the pros and cons of applying the precautionary principle.  </style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.genok.org/  </style></custom1></record></records></xml>
