Change and innovation development have accelerated dramatically through this century. The war itself influenced various developments. Argues that environmental problems are problems of development. Bhopal, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, Kuwait's oil wells and Siberian pipelines are all used as examples. Industrial activity and social change have increased vulnerability to man-made hazards. Hazardous industries tend to be sited nearer the poorest and most vulnerable people, making the effects of any disaster even greater.

Assessment, legislation and mitigation have meant improvements and are indicators of willingness and ability to handle the threats. - Reproduced Disasters Industrial safety Disaster Prevention and Management 40049 40049 40049 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 7, Issue no: 3 AR40421 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
