- W2486364246 abstract "This chapter compares emotion-based risk perception to science-based risk assessments, provides an example of the pitfalls of making decisions based on emotions and not facts and discusses the role that government regulatory agencies play in minimizing the potential risks associated with new products, including those developed using biotechnology. The uncertainty of exposure is one of the reasons risks are discussed in terms of probabilities instead of an absolute assessment of the seriousness of the hazard. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn contains the gene from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki that encodes a protein specifically toxic to lepidopteran insects, including monarch larvae, that ingest any part of the plant expressing the Bt gene. The level of risk defined by the hazard and exposure can be decreased or managed by instituting safeguards that decrease either or both of these factors. In response to media attention and political pressure, government agencies and private companies funded additional research specifically targeted to the effect of Bt corn on monarch butterfly populations. This research provided scientific data to estimate risk mathematically by assessing the hazard (toxic dose) and the probability of exposure of monarch larvae to Bt corn pollen. The data reaffirmed the decision of the regulatory agencies that the benefits of Bt corn outweighed the risks. With regard to agricultural biotechnology products, the regulatory agencies review the product at various stages in development to assess its effects on the environment, agriculture, and human health." @default.
