Toxic and Environmental Torts

Toxic and Environmental Torts Synopsis

Toxic and Environmental Torts: Cases and Materials provides an integrated approach to private and public law responses to toxic insults to individuals and to the environment. Rather than focus on procedural issues, it comprehensively examines the substance of toxic torts and explores, among other issues, the difficulties of employing various scientific methods to address the difficult question of causation. It also considers the role of public law, both in controlling risks and in its interaction with private law.
