  Technological hazards arise from our individual and collective use of technology and they present a very different set of problems and public response from their natural counterparts. This book discusses some of the assumptions society makes regarding technological risk and public policies. It provides a variety of examples of specific technological hazards, their management and how the public responds to them. This book is designed to be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography.
