Abstract

Environmental conflict is frequently bome of differences in individual and group values. Other important contributors to conflict include contrasting beliefs and differences in the distribution of costs and benefits. Societal choices made in an attempt to fulfill human needs and wants can eventually produce unanticipated outcomes, exposures, and undesirable consequences. The severity of these effects are often highly disputed by the scientific community and interpreted over widely varying measures of significance by affected parties.
