What is the difference between risk and hazard? Quite a lot, it seems, if you make or use pesticides. Everybody hates them (dangerous, unnatural things). But everybody likes their benefits (cheap and unblemished food). Sensibly regulating their manufacture and use is thus a minefield-but one that Europe's politicians and bereaucrats are now attempting to cross without getting blown up. The difference between hazard and riks, in this context, is that hazard is something you measure in a laboratory by finding out how much a subtance you need to kill or injure an experimental animal.
