anthropogenic disasters

Anthropogenic disasters are events caused by human activities that result in significant harm to people, the environment, or property. These can include industrial accidents like chemical spills, nuclear plant explosions, deforestation, pollution, and climate change from greenhouse gas emissions. Such disasters often stem from negligence, lack of regulation, or technological failures, leading to long-term environmental damage and risks to public health. Understanding these events emphasizes the importance of responsible management, safety protocols, and sustainable practices to prevent or minimize harm caused by human actions.
