No explicit or comprehensive guidelines exist for the inclusion of health concerns in environmental decision-making. The two most critical problems are conflicting scientific opinion and competing demands by the general public. A framework is presented to aid decision-makers in coping with these two problems and their synergistic implications. The framework balances the tradeoff between minimizing health impacts in the face of conflicting evidence, and obtaining the greatest support for any one policy despite competing interests.
