Emphasizing the need for long-term post-disaster assessment and the creation of information clearing-houses that focus on industrial disaster surprises, contributors discuss the results of long-term case studies of seven highly publicized industrial disasters: the mercury contamination in Minamata, Japan; the underground fires in Centralia, Pennsylvania, USA; the air-borne dioxin release at Seveso, Italy; the poison gas cloud in Bhopal, India; the nuclear reactor fire at Chernobyl, Ukraine; the destruction of Iran's oil facilities during the war with Iraq; and the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.
