Precautionary Principle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautionary_principle
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)
