Industrial development is essential to improvement of the standard
of living in all countries. In a given region, old and new plants,
processes, and technologies have to coexist. Technological
penetration and substitution processes are generally taking place;
they are entirely dynamic and this trend is going to stay like
this. People's health and the environment can be affected, directly
or indirectly by routine waste discharges or by accidents. A series
of recent major industrial accidents and the effect of pollution
highlighted, once again, the need for better management of routine
and accidental risks. Moreover, the existence of natural hazards
complicate even more the situation in any given region. In the past
effort to cope with these risks, if made at all, have been largely
on a plant by plant basis; some plants are well equipped to manage
environmental hazards while others are not. Managing the hazards of
modern technological systems has become a key activity in highly
industrialized countries. Decision makers are often confronted with
complex issues concerning economic and social development,
industrialization and associated infrastructure needs, population
and land use planning. Such issues have to be addressed in such a
way that ensures that public health will not be disrupted or
substantially degraded.
