Abstract
Advances in computer technology and applied statistics have provided the opportunity for the non-statistician to investigate uncertainty in a quantitative manner. The following discussion argues, notwithstanding the possible misuse of uncertainty analysis, that uncertainty is always present and that decisions based on human or ecological risk assessment would benefit from disclosure of uncertainty in the estimated risks.Keywords
