Uncertainty -- a normal part of science

(BfR Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) How dangerous is a new pathogen of a foodborne infection? What health risks are concealed in a new plant protection product? Uncertainty is a normal part of scientific work, because the results of scientific studies can be contradictory or afflicted with errors and be incapable of providing an answer to the question. It is then up to science to clarify the effects of such uncertainties on the risk assessment.
