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

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.
