Environmental Foresight and Models: A Manifesto
Policy-makers and the general public, it has famously been stated, are extra attracted to the opportunity of non-linear dislocations and surprises within the behaviour of our environment than in soft extrapolations of present tendencies.

Example text
Damage to the surface membrane, the epithelial cells or more strikingly the endothelium, by oxidant gases such as nitrogen dioxide or ozone, causes swelling of the cells and leakage of plasma into alveoli (Figure 2 ) . This plasma, containing protein and lipids from plasma and damaged cells, replaces surfactant at the air-liquid interface and disturbs the balance between curvature and surface tension maintained by DPL ( 3 ) . The sensitivity of the alveolar membranes and cells has not been determined with precision.
