Technological hazards such as industrial leaks and accidents can cause severe consequences like pollution and health issues as shown in events like the Bhopal gas tragedy, Chernobyl disaster, and Gulf oil spill. These events demonstrate that industrial leaks are often caused by negligence and lack of safety precautions, and can negatively impact the environment and human lives through pollution, radiation exposure, and health problems. Assessing responsibilities and learning from past mistakes is important to prevent such severe outcomes from industrial accidents going forward.
