Manmade and Technological Hazards
Man-made and technological hazards refer to risks and dangers created by human activity or technological processes that can significantly impact individuals, communities, and the environment. These hazards can stem from industrial accidents, such as chemical spills, nuclear power plant failures, oil refinery explosions, and human errors in technology-driven fields like aviation or transportation. Technological hazards include cybersecurity threats or the malfunctioning of critical infrastructure systems, such as power grids or communication networks. While these hazards are often preventable through proper safety measures, regulations, and technological advancements, they remain a critical concern due to their potential for widespread harm, highlighting the importance of risk management, safety protocols, and continuous vigilance in modern society.
