TL;DR: It is concluded that butter is sensitive to local, regional, and global scale spatial and temporal atmospheric trends of many POPs and may therefore provide a useful sampling medium for monitoring purposes, however, to improve the quantitative information derived on air concentrations requires an awareness of climatic and livestock management factors which influence air-milk fat transfer processes.

The precautionary principle: Protecting against failures of scientific method and risk assessment
TL;DR: The precautionary principle has been increasingly incorporated into national and international legislation to protect the environment from anthropogenic impacts as discussed by the authors, and it is clear, therefore, that the continuing application of the principle as a paradigm for regulatory action, as a means of recognizing and accounting for limitations to scientific evidence, is an approach that is both scientifically defensible and capable of ensuring a high level of environmental protection.
