A large project such as LEP has considerable consequences for the environment. The impacts can be of different kinds – direct intrusion into the natural surroundings (water, climate, flora and fauna) and impairing human life (radiation, noise, anxieties). As with the assessment of all dangers, the problem is to find out whether they are real or based on wrong conceptions. At any rate we were determined to reduce any negative effects on the environment and on the population to a minimum.
