Communication about environmental risk is important and problematic. A few prior researchers have explored
the impact of information design in this area. This paper
describes research done involving one common graphic
tool, the risk ladder. Risk ladders explain the magnitude
of risk from an environmental hazard, often by including
comparative information about more familiar risks.
