Title: TOXIC CORRIDOR PROJECTION MODELS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Accession Number: 00377895
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Rapid definition and communication of ground level toxic corridors during an environmental crisis are paramount concerns to protect public health and safety during an accident involving hazardous materials. Changing meteorological conditions, definition of dyanmic stability conditions, and rapid identification of source strength have profound effects on the definition of horizontal and vertical transport of toxic materials released during a transportation or industrial accident. The pragmatic application of toxic corridor projection models during an agricultural chemical warehouse fire, a derailment involving the release of chloroform, and a tractor-trailer accident resulting in the release of ethyl chloroformate is reviewed.
