Abstract
Human behavior both harms and benefits the natural environment, and in turn, environmental changes can significantly impact human health. Therefore, the study of human decision making, which guides much of human behavior, is highly relevant to the management of environmental health risks. This chapter examines the important relationship between one area of behavioral decision making (cognitive heuristics and biases) and environmental health risk management.
