Abstract:
:I have been exposed to the technical literature, attitudes, and behaviour associated with large scale potential accidents. The time seems appropriate to try to couple these matters with what we now know of bioindicator systems. There are some good case histories, for example, with respect to oil pollution events, and unplanned releases of radioactivity. In other situations there is work to be done, much of which should be commissioned by industry or government.
