How do disasters happen?

What damage do they do to people, communities and the environment?

This book looks at some of the worst chemical accidents in history. It describes how the emergency services responded, and asks what lessons can be learned in order to prevent such tragedies happening in the future.

Read about:

  • the chemical explosion on a ship that was so powerful it knocked tow planes out of the sky
  • a cloud of toxic gas from the chemical plant in Bhopal, India that killed thousands
  • the chemical leak in Switzerland that turned the Rhine River red.
