	Risk and Uncertainty
	Embedded in the development and evaluation of environmental policies is a need to assess their effects on ecosystems and human health. IEc believes that the best basis for good policy decisions is strong scientific evidence, developed using objective technical analyses with transparent assumptions and methods and explicit analysis of uncertainties. Drawing on recognized principles of human health and ecological risk assessment, IEc develops clear analytic frameworks and creates models and data sets to assess the potential effects of policy decisions. Our work in this area is sensitive to the need to balance analytic sophistication with real world decision making. We understand the value of information and effectively tailor the analysis and information needs to the task at hand.
