The potential risks of antibiotics discharged into environment are well known to us, but how to quantitatively evaluate the risks to environment and human health is, it seems, yet not solved. Anyone has some ideas about this?
Before you can quantitatively assess environmental risk one must acknowledge that it has specific qualitative characteristics based on the seminal work of economist Talbot Page, that distinguish it. See my book Justice & Nature, Chapters 1 and 4 for details.
