{"title":"At last, empirical elicitations of the magnitudes of those risks (and costs!) too small to matter and those too large to abide","authors":"Adam M. Finkel, Branden B. Johnson","doi":"10.1080/10807039.2023.2251585","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10807039.2023.2251585","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractScholars, decision-makers, and pundits have long tossed around words and numbers meant to demarcate those health/safety risks that are too small to matter at all (called, variously, “trivial” or “de minimis” or “insignificant”), or risks that are so large as to be abhorrent (“unacceptable,” “intolerable,” and the like). But there has been nothing approaching a consensus about how large or small these important probabilities are, and worse, there have been no serious attempts to explore these concepts via any carefully-elicited preferences from laypeople themselves. Perhaps even more concerning, the dominant paradigm—cost-benefit analysis (CBA)—requires balancing of (monetized) risks against the costs of controlling them, but the parallel concepts of de minimis costs and intolerable costs have never been formally considered. As a result of these lapses, all attempts to consider equity or justice in the distribution of how risks and costs are borne are an absurdity, despite claims to the contrary.This article reports on a pair of elicitations involving 1350 laypeople. In one elicitation, a careful set of background and contextual explanations and a structured series of questions probed where each subject perceived lifetime excess mortality risk (from involuntary exposure) to become “so small you would not spend a moment thinking about it,” and where it becomes so large that “you would strongly object, as an ethical matter, to ever having to face it.” With a separate sample, we asked the parallel questions with regard to regulatory costs imposed by the government in the name of risk reduction.Although there was significant interindividual variation in responses, the central tendency of each of these four science-policy-values “goalposts” was as follows: (1) de minimis risk—a lifetime excess chance of premature death of 1 in 770,000; (2) intolerable risk—1 chance in 570; (3) de minimis cost—$25 per year; and (4) intolerable cost—$775 per year. These results offer, for the first time, a principled and evidence-based starting point for further refinement of which risks or costs to individuals can/should be disregarded in setting policy, and which must dominate policies regardless of how total “monetized lives saved” and total dollar costs compare to each other when viewed simplistically.We offer several prescriptions for how CBA might change, and how environmental/health/safety policy might improve, to take account of these fundamental thresholds in how risks and costs actually impose burdens on citizens. Both those interventions that impose intolerable costs while only reducing diffuse and trivially small risks, and those failures to intervene (sufficiently) that perpetuate intolerable risks for the sake of avoiding trivial and eminently manageable costs, are inefficient, unjust, and are thus unethical.Keywords: Risk assessmentstated preferencecost-benefit analysisde minimis riskenvironmental equity AcknowledgementsWe gratefully acknowledge th","PeriodicalId":13118,"journal":{"name":"Human and Ecological Risk Assessment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Ingestion and accumulation of microplastics in small marine fish and potential human exposure: case study of Binh Dinh, Vietnam","authors":"Son T. Tran, Hoa V. Nguyen, Tham C. Hoang","doi":"10.1080/10807039.2023.2268208","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10807039.2023.2268208","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe present study investigates microplastic (MP) accumulation in five small marine fish species living in the nearshore sea of Binh Dinh, Vietnam that are commonly consumed by the local coastal communities. Fish (Oxyurichthys ophthalmonema, Stolephorus commersonnii, Decapterus macrosoma, Upeneus moluccensis, Sardinella gibbosa) were collected from four sites in the nearshore sea of Binh Dinh in rainy and dry seasons. The temporal, spatial, and species variations in MP accumulation were evaluated to understand environmental exposure of MPs to fish and potential human exposure to MPs via fish consumption. Microplastics of different types, sizes, and colors were found in the digestive system of the fish species. Microplastic composition included polyethylene, polyvinyl ether, polymethacrylate, polydichloroethylene, polydivinyl ester, poly ester, polyfluoroethylene, and other additives of plastic materials. Microplastic abundance in the fish was dependent on species, site, and season. Overall, microfiber was the dominant MPs. The average total MP abundance range was 4.70–23.80 particles/fish or 0.29–6.21 particles/g fish. There were statistically significant differences in MP abundances between fish species, sites, and seasons. The presence of MPs in the digestive system of fish suggests that MPs are in the nearshore environment of Binh Dinh. The local communities along the coast of Binh Dinh can ingest MPs from consuming small fish at a weekly rate equivalent to one five-hundredth number of rice grains they consume/week.Keywords: Microplastic contaminationmicroplastic exposuremicroplastic accumulationmicroplastic abundancemicroplastic ingestion by fish and humans AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Giang Hoang and Chi Vo for their assistance with fish sampling and preparation for MP analysis. The authors are grateful to the fishermen and coordinators (Dang Van Khoa, Nguyen Huu Bong, Nguyen Van Dung, Nguyen Van Nhieu) for their help with catching fish for the study. The voluntary participation of the ten residents of Hoai Nhon Town and Tuy Phuoc District in the fish consumption survey is greatly appreciated. The authors also acknowledge the consumable materials provided by Quy Nhon University for the research. The authors would like to thank Dr. Yaniv Olshansky for allowing us to use his FTIR instrument for analysis of the samples.Author contributionsSon Tran: Study conceptualization, experimental design and conducting, data analysis, manuscript preparation.
