Environmental disasters are events that cause harm to human health, ecosystems, and, often, both. Addressing and preventing environmental disasters requires attention to lessons learned from regarding risk assessment and management. This includes an understanding of how scientific and engineering systems have failed due to miscalculations, extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances, addressing gaps in the root causes and critical paths, and better methods to predict contingencies. Such lessons are illustrated using examples from past disasters.
