SUSTAINABLE  ENERGY

Sustainable energy, good for the climate and an alternative
to the declining resources of fossil fuels is promoted in many
countries, but for political and economical reasons the practice
stays behind of what would be necessary. After the disappoin-
ting results of the Copenhagen conference, the control on our
climate remains questionable, in spite of important efforts made
in various countries. Papers below show forms of renewable
energy and discuss the political problems and arguments.

Technology and Non-Evident Risk

A Contribution to Prevention

This book deals with the prevention of potential non-evident risks on human health associated with technology which encloses the general knowledge of developing processes used to achieve either goods or services. The voids in technological knowledge used in the development of new technologies are responsible for hidden defects in the same. The authors suggest that hidden defects in technologies are accountable for hazards in generations of environmental factors that they call technopathogens. These factors can cause adverse effects to human health which are expressed not immediately but over years or even generations. This phenomenon is defined as technopathogeny. Since technopathogeny cannot be framed within existing disciplines related to the phenomenon such as risk assessment, risk management, technology assessment, technological genesis, environmental impact assessment, life cycle assessment or ecology, the authors coin a new term for this specific discipline called Technopathogenology.

Contents: Technopathogeny – The Phenomenon • Technopathogeny: Its disciplinary orphanage and framing proposal • Technopathogenology: The science and its method • Technopathogenology and its impact on society.
