Abstract
Even if it is no exaggeration to say “It is the times of chemical substances.” In the reason, the benefit (our life does not make ends meet without the chemical substance) and the risk (chemical pollution threatens our life) are raised simultaneously as seen in agricultural chemicals. At first, I considered the risk in the compound pollution (pollution to compound of chemical substances) through R. Carson's Silent Spring mainly in this paper. Then I discussed about the risk of genetic engineering for food production in the point of ‘externalities.' For ‘The Other Road (our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of our earth)' in Silent Spring, I examined from the idea of mitigation and resilience in the ‘multi-risk era,' at the end.
