2. Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984 in India that lead to 30,000 deaths and severe gene mutation that is continuing till date.
3. Major crude oil spills and refined fuel spills tanker ship accidents have severely polluted & damaged vulnerable ecosystems in France, Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, the Sundarbans, Ogoniland, the Galapagos Islands.
4. Anthrax attack in 2001 caused by Bacillus anthracis in US is an example of biological attack
5. London’s killer fog, or the Great Smog of 1952 leaving 12,000 people dead
6. Pollution that leads to smog, acid rain, etc. & which further aggravates global warming by depletion of ozone layer.

It is ironical that as mankind has been progressing over the ages, most so in the twentieth and in the first decade and more of the twenty first century, certain human actions have caused disasters which has put our life in peril.
Nuclear energy is being harnessed at a fast pace, but the disasters of Chernobyl, Fukushima Daiichi and Three Mile Island have caused a lot of concern and distress.
Global warming is causing a lot of concern too as the flora and fauna is being affected at a fast pace. With more and more automobiles being added everyday and as we burn larger volumes of fossil fuel, the weather pattern is being affected across the world.
As terror strikes are being carried out all over the earth, scientists and political leaders are worried about the possibility of biological and chemical attacks if specimens from the work of pioneering scientists are stolen from laboratories. An example would be if the now eradicated small pox viruses are stolen.
