The challenge presented to society is to find harmony between the pressures of those who search for economic growth and those who search for environmental protection. The Precautionary Principle appears as one of the main instruments in dealing with technological risks and their relations with environmental questions.

The decision makers must consider the evaluation of the potential consequences of omission, of the uncertanties and of the a scientific evaluation, when taking an action based on precaution. The present has the objective of debating questions that rouse concerning the application of the related principle, its relation with science and the technology a society of risk, considering the diversity of legal system and written laws, as well as the peculiar characteristics that are attributed to it by the legal doctrine and by the legal precedents in the national and international scenery
