| Zusammenfassung |
| Almost every natural disaster is accompanied by some sort of technological
one. A number of studies also show a correlation between technological
disasters and various global processes such as solar disturbances,
geophysical field variation etc. In this study we attempted to ascertain and
codify the relationship between different types of technological disasters
and natural hazards. Two types of natural hazards were found, based on their
genesis, distribution in time, and impact pattern on the technosphere. Solar
and geomagnetic disturbances generally affect technological risk through the
failure of automatic machinery and the reduction of operator reliability.
They increase the probability of transport accidents, fires, and
catastrophic toxic emissions. These types of technological disasters are
widely prevalent throughout Russia and in all federal regions. Geological,
climatic, hydrological, and other natural hazardous processes increase
technological risk through direct mechanical impacts. Their occurrence in
space and time depends on the character of the natural process and the
specific regional environment. The total number and proportion of
technological disasters in federal regions results mainly from the
concentration of industrial units and their type, as well as the local
natural and social environment. Temporal changes in the number of
technological disasters of different groups depend on the prevailing type of
natural processes. |
