Over recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the
risks of locating hazardous industries near heavily populated,
environmentally sensitive areas. This new awareness demands a novel
approach to safety planning for hazardous industries; one that
looks at the problem from the point of view of integrated regional
risk assessment which, besides the risks arising from natural
events, should also include the risks arising from the processing
plants, storage and the transportation of dangerous goods. Volume I
of Integrated Regional Risk Assessment highlights the main
procedures for the assessment of risks to health and environmental
impacts from continuous emissions of pollutants into air, water and
soil under normal operating conditions. Volume II deals with the
assessment of consequences of accidental releases, helping to
answer such questions as: What can go wrong? What are the effects
and consequences? How often will it happen? A/LISTA The main
procedural steps are supported by relevant, internationally
recognised methods of risk assessment. The book also reviews
criteria and guidelines for the implementation of risk assessment
and management at different stages. Audience: Students, engineers,
and scientists in charge of developing new methodologies for hazard
analysis and risk assessment; practitioners of environmental
protection; local and governmental authorities charged with
implementing environmental risk impact procedures and guidelines.
