Fields typically concerned by the precautionary principle are the possibility of:
: Global warming or abrupt climate change in general
: Extinction of species
: Introduction of new and potentially harmful products into the environment, threatening biodiversity (e.g., genetically modified organisms)
: Threats to public health, due to new diseases and techniques (e.g., AIDS transmitted through blood transfusion)
: Long-term effects of new technologies (e.g. health concerns regarding radiation from cell phones and other electronics communications devices)
: Persistent or acute pollution (asbestos, endocrine disruptors...)
: Food safety (e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease)
: Other new biosafety issues (e.g., artificial life, new molecules)
