This volume ponders the cultures that generated the bulk of our
global contamination legacy. Insight is sought into its creation
and an understanding of differences in how it is being addressed.
Hopefully the illumination of the problem will contribute to a
better understanding of the constraining conditions and will help
guide us in meeting the twin challenges created by the legacy of
contamination: how to stop it and how to address what we already
have done.
Section one focuses on the psycho-social dynamics of chemical
contamination. Section two deals with nuclear events, both
accidents, but also the closed cities and closed society needed to
produce a nuclear context. Section 3 addresses mitigations,
dominated by 4 out of 5 chapters addressing Russia. And section
four provides perspectives, comparative pieces addressing secrecy
in nuclear programs, distorted risk communication in the aftermath
of the World Trade Center Disaster, environmental altruism and in
core social response to environmental challenges.
Research in Social Problems and Public Policy is now available
online at ScienceDirect full-text online of volumes 8 onwards.
*Examines the cultures most responsible for global
contamination
*Adopts a global and practical perspective, with case examples from
the United States and Russia.
*Seeks to stop contaminations from taking place in the future and
positively address those from the past.
