Application of the Precautionary Principle in My Lifeworld: A Critical
Evaluation
Introduction
The precautionary principle is a key approach in environmental science,
urging preventive action when there is a risk of harm to human health or
the environment, even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not fully
established scientifically. This principle emphasizes the need to take action
in the face of uncertainty to avoid potential risks. This essay will explore a
situation from my own life where the precautionary principle was applied
and will critically evaluate the effectiveness of the policy in terms of human
behavior, drawing comparisons with the case studies presented by Kriebel
et al. (2001).
