Abstract

This chapter reviews research on the potential for knowledge exchange and participative approaches in making risk communication more effective. It focuses particularly on examples of communication concerning 'chronic', persistent risks associated with environments that are known to be contaminated, as well as 'potential' sources of environmental contamination, such as industrial facilities, in their normal operation and decommissioning.
