<abstract>Attention has been addressed  to the question of whether Europe or the United States adopts a more precautionary stance to the regulation of potential risks. Some commentators suggest that Europe is more risk-averse and precautionary, whereas the United States is seen as more risk-taking and optimistic about the prospects for new tech nology. This study examines the levels and trends in regulation of environmental, health, and safety risks since 1970</abstract>
