INTRODUCTION OF HUMAN MADE DISASTER
|
We are now living in a civilized society. The
day of illiteracy and ignorance have gone. Human has made much progress in the
field of science and technology. Human has created wealth of our natural
resources for his greediness. Man has cut forests recklessly to clear the land
for cultivation and along with this environmental degradation has taken place,
which also effect the life. Man is becoming his own enemy he has also created
weapons of mass destruction and these weapons are used against humanity, which
further bring sorrow and suffering of mankind. This is just an example of human mistake and greed. For these, our blog is created to talk about these issue.
WHAT IS HUMAN MADE DISASTER???
A disastrous event caused directly and
principally by one or more identifiable deliberate or negligent human actions.
TYPES OF HUMAN MADE DISASTER
- Nuclear disaster
Firstly,nuclear disaster refers to undesirable effect caused to the
environment due to radioactive substances or radiations. Major source is the nuclear power plants. If traces of the
radioactive substances are present in the water that is released from the
plant, it will cause nuclear pollution. It affects almost all life forms in the surrounding
environment. Besides, the radiations can cause mutations that lead to cancer, and the dose
of radiation or the level of pollution determines lethality.
- Biological disaster
Secondly, biological disasters also one of the effects. They may described as a disaster are causative of process
or phenomenon of organic origin may cause loss of life, injury, illness or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or
environmental damage. Examples of biological disasters include outbreaks of
epidemic diseases, plant or animal contagion, insect or other animal plagues
and infestation.
- Chemical disaster
Thirdly, chemical disaster is the unintentional refuse
of one or more hazardous substances which could harm human health or the
environment. Chemical hazards are systems where chemical accidents could occur
under certain circumstances. Such events include fires, explosions, leakages or
releases of toxic or hazardous materials that can cause people illness, injury,
disability or death.
- Global warming
Lastly, one of the biggest problems facing the world
today is global warming. Many scientists believe that our production of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases is having a heating effect on the
atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human life. One of the biggest
problems is rising sea level. This could result in the flooding of low lying
coastal areas and cities, such as Egypt, the Netherlands, and Bangladesh. Some
countries might even disappear completely. Another problem caused by global
warming is changes in weather patterns. Many areas of the world are
experiencing increased hurricanes, floods, and other unusual weather.
