21. Technological, Organisational, and Social Innovation as Pathways to Sustainability - Ashford, Nicholas
The purposes of this chapter is to delve more deeply into the processes and determinants of technological, organisational, and social innovation and to discuss the instruments and policies to stimulate the kinds of innovation necessary for the transformation of industrial societies into sustainable ones.

22. Rethinking the Role of Information in Chemicals Policy: Implications for TSCA and REACH - Koch, Lars; Ashford, Nicholas
This article analyses the role of different kinds of information for minimizing or eliminating the risks due to the production, use, and disposal of chemical substances and contrasts it with present and planned (informational) regulation in the United States and the European Union, respectively.

23. Implementing the Precautionary Principle: Incorporting Science, Technology, Fairness, and Accountability in Environmental, Health and Safety Decisions - Ashford, Nicholas
The precautionary principle is in sharp political focus today because (1) the nature of scientific uncertainty is changing and (2) there is increasing pressure to base governmental action on allegedly more "rational" schemes, such as cost benefit analysis and quantitative risk assessment, the former being an embodiment of ‘rational choice theory’ promoted by the Chicago school of law and economics.

24. Major Challenges To Engineering Education for Sustainable Development: What Has to Change to Make it Creative, Effective, and Acceptable to the Established Disciplines - Ashford, Nicholas
Moreover, engineers are known as ‘problem solvers’ and if economies are becoming unsustainable because of engineering, it is natural to ask whether engineering as an activity and as a profession can be re-directed toward achieving sustainable transformations.

25. The Crisis in the U.S. and International Cancer Policy - Epstein, Samuel; Ashford, Nicholas
The incidence of cancer in the United States and other major industrialized nations has escalated to epidemic proportions over recent decades, and greater increases are expected.

34. Low-Level Chemical Sensitivity: Implications for Research and Social Policy - Ashford, Nicholas
Abstract There is increasingly evidence that human exposure to levels of chemicals once thought to be safe -- or presenting insignificant risk -- are, in fact, harmful.

35. Government and Innovation in Environmental Transformations in Europe and North America - Ashford, Nicholas
While far-sighted prevention-oriented and structural changes are needed, some proponents of these theories argue that the very industries and firms that create environmental problems can, through continuous institutional learning; the application of life cycle analysis; dialogue and networks with stakeholders; and implementation of "environmental management systems," be transformed into sustainable industries and firms.

36. Monitoring the Worker and the Community for Chemical Exposure and Disease: Legal and Ethical Considerations in the U.S. - Ashford, Nicholas
Biomonitoring of workers and communities raises important legal and ethical concerns, but the two contexts are different.

37. The Feasibility of Encouraging Inherently Safer Production in Industrial Firms - Ashford, Nicholas; Zwetsloot, Gerard I.J.M.
A methodology to generate inherently safer technological options was developed and tested.

38. Encouraging Inherently Safer Production in European Firms: A Report from the Field - Zwetsloot, Gerard; Ashford, Nicholas
Abstract It is now generally recognized that in order to make significant advances in accident prevention, the focus of industrial firms must shift from assessing the risks of existing production and manufacturing systems to discovering technological alternatives, i.e.

39. Porter Debate Stuck in 1970's - Ashford, Nicholas
