The environmental mobilization of contaminants by "natural disasters" is a
subject of much interest, however, little has been done to address these
concerns, especially in the developing world. Frequencies and predictability of
events, both globally and regionally as well as the intensity, vary widely. It is
clear that there are greater probabilities for mobilization of modern
contaminants in sediments. Over the past 100 years of industrialization many
chemicals are buried in riverine, estuarine and coastal sediments. There are a
few studies, which have investigated this potential risk especially to human
health. Studies that focus on extreme events need to determine the pre-existing
baseline, determine the medium to long term fate and transport of contaminants
and investigate aquatic and terrestrial pathways. Comprehensive studies are
required to investigate the disease pathways and susceptibility for human health
concerns.
