DESCRIPTION:By Dr Zoltán Illés\, Hungarian Minister for Environmental Aff
 airs.\nIn October 2010 the sludge reservoir of an alumina production com
 pany southwest of Budapest in Hungary burst. The accident released 700\,
 000 cubic metres of alkaline ‘red mud’ waste which flooded towns and vil
 lages\, contaminated over 1\,000 hectares and polluted several rivers. T
 en people died and over 130 were injured as a result of one of Europe’s 
 worst environmental disasters of the last 20 years.\nDr Zoltán Illés has
  been the Hungarian environment minister since June 2010 and is therefor
 e in a unique position to discuss what happened\, how the red mud contam
 ination and environmental damage was contained and what lessons can be l
 earnt to prevent similar accidents happening elsewhere.
