Abstract
eng: This conference report focuses on the meaning and application of the precautionary principle: How much care is needed if scientific uncertainty arises about an action which could have a detrimental effect on the environment? The debate tries to clarify this question, and the presenters adress the issue from a number of different angles: administrative, technical and economical, and social. This publication presents the contributions made during the conference, gives short summaries and extracts of the debate and question time.

Resumé
dan: Hvor forsigtig skal man være ved brugen af miljøskadelige stoffer, når viden om graden af skadelighed hviler på videnskabelig usikkerhed, også kaldet forsigtighedsprincippet. I et debatforum sættes dette spørgsmål under lup og belyses ved indlæg fra oplægsholdere, der anskuer problematikken fra forskellige vinkler: et administrativt, et teknisk og økonomisk og et samfundsmæssigt. Denne publikation består af udskrifter fra oplægsholdernes indlæg, korte resuméer og udskrift af den efterfølgende debat og spørgetid.resumé skrives her">
