INTRODUCTION
The effects of the accidental release of acutely toxic
chemicals gained worldwide attention recently, when hazardous
chemicals were accidentally released from a chemical plant in
Bhopal, India and Institute, West Virginia. These events focused
the concern of federal and state governments, local communities,
and the public on such accidents both in terms of how to prevent
them from happening, as well as to how to be prepared for them
should they occur. The Agency responded to this concern by
initiating the Chemical Emergency Preparedness Program (CEPP).
The goals of this voluntary program were to increase community
awareness of chemical hazards and to develop State and local
emergency response plans.
Recently, the Congress acknowledged the importance of
emergency planning and the community's right to know about
chemicals in their environment by passing the Superfund
Amendments and Authorization Act of 1986 (SARA). Title III of
SARA, the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act,
establishes an organizational structure and process for States
and local communities to follow in developing and testing
emergency plans. It also requires industry to provide information
on hazardous chemicals to local communities, fire departments,
and States. SARA was signed into law on October 17, 1986.
Therefore, the issuance of this Bibliography, which is concerned
with both chemical preparedness and prevention information, is
timely and important.
This bibliography was prepared in the Headquarters Library
by Michelle S.L. Lee, Chief Reference Librarian. Emma McNamara,
Head Librarian, and Mary Hoffman, Reference Librarian, also
contributed.
Citations were selected for their relevance to EPA's
Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Program. The
bibliography is organized according to the following major areas:
1) hazard identification, 2) prevention, 3) mitigation, 4)
ramifications, 5) information access, 6) conferences, 7)
international aspects.
The articles in the bibliography were taken directly from
the database that cited them; no editing was done by the author.
Because some of the references deal with multiple subjects, cross
references are noted for ease of use and the reader is informed
where to look for more information e.g. SEE SECTION I-D FOR MORE
DETAIL).

A chemical plant failure 13 miles north of Milan, Italy, produced a
seriously dangerous contamination of inhabited areas, extending from the
plant itself for a few kilometers in the south-southeast direction. Many
environmental specimens were sampled and analyzed to assess distribution of
TOD in the soil surface layer of the territory hit so as to enable the
appropriate sanitary measures to be taken. On the basis of contamination
maps, three zones were established. This paper describes the procedures
adopted to assess the contamination of soil due to TCXD. TCXD
concentrations were seen to vary in the range <0.75 to similar to 20
nultiplied by 10 super(3) mi g/m super(2).

The author has analyzed over 100 cases of accidental releases of ammonia.
The object of this study is to review the characteristic features of these
accidents and point out sane lessons which can be drawn from them. It is
shown that containment is of fundamental importance. In order to achieve
this, high standards of design, construction, operation, maintenance and
inspection are essential. As well as to manufacturing and storge plants,
this also applies to pipelines, where surge pressures in particular must be
guarded against, and damage by alien operators is always a risk. It is true
also for mobile transport units, where substantial improvements are
necessary if the frequency and severity of accidents are to be reduced. 16

This paper summarizestheresultsof astudy of the effectiveness of the
release prevention systems used in the ING industry. An overview study
characterized the basic types of ING facilities, identified possible weak
links and information needs, and developed lists of release scenarios which
are typical of the hazards involved in LNG operations. A reference inport
terminal and peakshaving facility were selected for more detailed study in
which the postulated release scenarios were analyzed to predict the
frequency of LNG releases, determine the reliability of the emergency
sensors and shutdown systems, estimate the size of potential ING releases,
and evaluate release prevention design alternatives. Failure modes and
effects analysis, as well as fault tree analysis techniques were used to
provide relative comparisons for evaluating the release prevention system
effectiveness. 13 refs.

An attempt is made to identify the inhalation hazards associated with the
over-exposure of workers and of the general public, following an accidental
release of uranium hexafluoride. Maximum emergency concentrations are
recommended for periods of 10, 30, and 60 minutes. The quantitative aspect
of the assessment is considered in the context of the development of
exposure standards for chemical substances and this facilitates the
derivation of levels which are compatible with occupational and public
health experience and attainable by management, and to which most workers
and members of the general public may be exposed without adverse effect.
The radiological implications are also considered. (Atonindex citation

A series of large scale nitrogen tetroxide spill tests were conducted to
determine the source strength characteristics and heavy-gas dispersion
aspects of large N sub 2 O sub 4 spills. The source strength and downwind
dispersion results of two of the spills were used to evaluate several
source strength and Gaussian dispersion models. It was concluded that: the
internal energy heat source is a major contributor to the source strength;
that source strength models need improvement; that formation of a dense HNO
sub 3 mist may account for much of the downwind mass transport of large N
sub 2 O sub 4 spills and that all models evaluated underpredict downwind
gas concentrations. 34 refs., 4 figs., 7 tabs. (ERA citation 10:032149)

On December 3, 1984, a leak of over 25 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate
from a chemical plant in Bhopal, India, killed over 2500 people. Some of
the wider issues of this disaster are commented upon: the need for
inherently safer chemical plants; the layout of chemical plants; emergency
planning; hazard and operability studies; maintaining and testing
protective equipment; joint ownership; and education of chemical engineers.

There are numerous suggestions for the use of hydrogen in energy systems,
particularly in transportaion systems. While economic factors predominate,
safety aspects are an injportant issue particularly as hydrogen fuel would
be used in close proximity with the general public. This paper is based on
the work carried out by Chanetics International Company, on behalf of the
National Research Council. Potential systems for the transmission, storage,

distribution, refuelling and in-vehicle storage were selected. Schematic
designs were developed and each subjected to the Hazard Identification
procedure known as 'Hazard & Operability studies. ' This paper outlines the
strategy, the Hazard Identification approach and the results achieved with
particular reference to an LH//2 refuelling station, an outline is given of
some of the conclusions and recomnendations including the creation of a

Whenever there is an accidental spill of hazardous chemicals or
radioactive materials into any river, it is vitally important to be able to
issue an inmediate forecast of the arrival time and peak concentration of a
pollutant at each downstream city, to enable water users downstream to take
effective precaution measures. Adequate forecast of this type was not
possible in the past because of the lack of a proper model to predict
one-dimensional dispersion in natural streams. THis study resulted in the
development of an improved model. Ihe new model is a modified Fickian model
which uses a time-dependent dispersion coefficient, a time-scale much
greater than the Fischer time-scale, and a Pearson-Type-lii distribution of
concentration.

An in plant minicomputer based facility was developed for predicting the
hazardous atmospheric spread of accidental releases of toxic and explosive
chemicals. This system, is geared primarily as a practical tool to support
emergency decision making for the chanical/petrochemical industry.
Calculations of a flow field are made based on real time meteorological
data and local terrain features. The dispersion methodology used in this
system considers the complexities of a river like two fluid flow field,
including vapour transport and dispersion in that field, which can be
associated with accidental atmospheric releases of toxic and explosive
heavier than air gaseous chemicals, normally stored under high pressure
and/or low temperature, (from authors' abstract)

The emergency Response Atmospheric Dispersion and Assessment System
(ERADAS) is a real-time computerized management tool designed to provide
the necessary information and evaluation in the event of emergency
releases. The ERADAS consists of two key components: a Nuclear Emergency
Evaluation System (NEES) that has been implemented at several nuclear
plants as part of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements, and
a Chemical Emergency Evaluation System (CEES) that has been developed for
use in the event of hazardous chemical releases. Both the NEES and the HEFS
consists of three modules: sampling and activation, accidental release
calculations and displays of results. This paper describes key features
included in the NEES and the CEES. Examples of the systems displays are
included to illustrate the type of output and information available and the
utility and versatility of each application.

Ocean Breeze-Dry Gulch (CB/DG) atmospheric dispersion model is used
extensively by the USAF Air Weather Service for predicting the hazard zone
resulting from an accidental toxic chemical spill. This model is an
empirical and statistical model derived from the Ocean Breeze, Dry Gulch,
and Prairie Grass experiments conducted in the late 50's and early 60's.
the USAF scientific Advisory Board recently recommended that the CB/DG
model be replaced with a current state-of-the-art dispersion model. This
report represents the first step toward evaluating the OB/DG model and
finding a suitable replacement. The hazard distances computed from the
OB/DG model for different meteorological conditions are compared with the
Hazard distances calculated with the Shell Oil co. SPILLS model and a
modified version of the model. In the modified Shell model, the discrete
pasquill stability categories are replaced with a continuous stability
parameter, and surface roughness is included as a factor in defining the
rate of cloud growth. The OB/DG model agrees quite favorably with the
modified Shell model except at low wind speeds where it predicts
considerably lower distances. The Shell model calculates generally larger
distances and much greater fluctuations with wind speed, and therefore does
not agree as well with the OB/DG model. The similarity in output between
the modified Shell model and the OB/DG model lends support to further
consideration of this model as a possible replacement to the OB/DG model.

FEM3 is a three-dimensional numerical model for simulating the
atmospheric dispersion of heavy gases over complex terrain. During the past
few years, FEM3 has been assessed, using data from the Burro and Coyote
series of LNG spill experiments conducted by LLNL at China Lake,
California. In general, the model has been found to perform very well and
it greatly complements the field experiments in enhancing our understanding
of the phenomena associated with LNG vapor dispersion, including gravity
spreading, heating from the ground surface, and terrain effects. In this
paper, the FEM3 model is further applied to simulate the dispersion of
nitrogen dioxide (NO sub 2 ) for one of the LUJL conducted nitrogen
tetroxide (N sub 2 O sub 4 ) spill tests and also to simulate the
dispersion of propane gas for four of the refrigerated liquid propane
32
-------
spills conducted by SHELL Research Limited at Maplin Sands. The main
purpose of the NO sub 2 simulation is to demonstrate the heavy gas effects
in this test and the latter simulations are for assessing the performance
of the current model for simulating the dispersion of propane gas. 12

AB Computerized models are developed to predict the spreading, movement,
evapn., and dissoln. of floating slicks formed by accidental spills
of insol. chem. Sep. models are developed for continuous and
instantaneous spills. The waterway can be a river, Channel, lake, or
coastal water. The models aifftasize the dynamics of the thick slick
(i.e., the gravity-viscous spreading phase) since the thick slick
contains nearly all the spilled chem. and represents the most
prolonged hazard. Predictions of the spreading models are compared
to results of instantaneous and ODntinuous spill tests conducted in a
large lab. basin and a lab. channel. The evapn. and dissoln.
predictions are compared to wind-tunnel and wincVwave tunnel tests.
Agreement of the models with the tests is generally good.

National Response Center for Water Pollution has a Hazard Assessment
Computer System (HftCS) to predict time-phased concentrations of spilled
chemicals. Run in an emergency environment, this system is useful for
supporting decisions on evacuation, deployment of response resources, and
selection of response options. Other types of decisions must be made long
before a community is faced with the emergency, before major facility sites
are selected, before decisions are made about alternative vessels,
chemicals or forms of chemicals to be shipped. The Population Vulnerability
Model (PVM) adds a damage assessment capability to HACS for longer range
planning. 8 refs.

The primary objective of this project is to design and build a
differential absorption lidar (DIAL) system to support field tests
involving chemical releases at Dugway Proving Grounds, me design goals are
to create a system capable of +/-10% accuracy measurements of agent or
simulant concentrations of 0.1 to 500 mg/m exp 3 . The desired spatial
resolution is 2 m (radial, with respect to the chemical release point) and
20 m (azimuthal) with simultaneous temporal resolution of 10 sec or less
over the entire plume, in addition, system performance should not be
degraded significantly by the presence of dust, munitions by-products,
obscurants, and other interferents. "Die current conceptual design calls for
a pair of 100 pulse/sec, 100 mJ/pulse CO exp 2 lasers with
OMputer-controlled frequency agility and scanning capability. The
receiving optics have not been precisely specified, but will likely be 30
to 40 on in diameter. Direct detection and digitization of the returned
waveforms at 12-bit accuracy or better is also planned. "Soft" targets
(wire screen in an open frame) are being considered for the test grid. 1

A series of large-scale spills (3-5 cu m) of nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4)
was performed at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) for the Air Force Engineering
and Services Laboratory, Bnvironics Division. The purpose of these
experiments was to study the evaporation rates and heavy gas dispersion
aspects of realistic size releases of N204, a rocket fuel oxidizer for the
Titan II missile system. Ihe Titan II complexes are currently being
decomnissioned, resulting in an increase in the overland transportation of
tuts toxic material. Hie normal boiling point for the liquid N2O4 is 21 C,
hence it evaporates rapidly when spilled onto warm soil and quickly
dissociates into nitrogen dioxide (ND2) as it mixes with air. Ihe ND2 is
highly toxic with an AOGffl threshold limit value 3 parts per million (ppn).
The design of the spill facility and the diagnostics are described. Some
typical results for one of the spills are presented. The data included the
atsospheric boundary layer conditions in effect during the spill, the spill
area heat flux and vapor temperature, the vapor flux measured at 25 meters
(m) downwind, and the N02 gas concentration contours at 785 M.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is in the process of constructing a
spill test facility for liquefied gaseous fuels and other hazardous
materials in the Frenchman Flat basin on the Nevada Test Site (NTS) as
shown in Fig. l. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is
assisting DOE in construction of that facility and will be assisting with
facility operation when construction is complete in January 1986. The
facility is designed: (1) to discharge, at a controlled rate, a known
amount of hazardous test fluid onto the surface of the dry lake bed; (2) to
monitor and record process operating data, meteorological data, downwind
gas concentration data, and other data as is required for the experiment;
and (3) to provide a means to control and monitor these functions from a
remote location. This design is described in detail by Johnson and
Thompson, 1984. The spill facility consists of two generally separate
process systems. The larger and more complex of the two is designed to
handle cryogenic fluids such as LNG. The noncryogenic spiil system is
designed to handle fluids which are normally stored and shipped as
pressurized liquids, such as ammonia. The NTS and the surrounding Nellis
Air Force Range is remote and not open to public access. The area downwind
of the spill facility is essentially unpopulated with access strictly
controlled all the way to the Nellis boundary, 60 km (40 mi) away. This
will allow testing with hazardous and toxic substances which could not be
done anyplace else in the US. (EDA citation 11:006267)

Risk assessment is a methodology which can be used by regulatory bodies,
insurance companies and operators of facilities which handle hazardous
netteriais to evaluate and, if necessary, reduce the risks that may be
Incurred as a result of accidents. This methodology generally entails four
consecutive stages: Identification of potential hazards; Quantification of
risks; Evaluation of risk acceptability; and Reduction of unacceptable
risks. This paper provides general guidelines for the application of this
methodology to existing or proposed marine terminal operations. Of specific
interest are accidental releases of hazardous flammable and/or toxic
cargoes in or near harbours and inland waterways. 42 refs.

Toxicity may be expressed in a variety of forms depending on the chemical
which is involved, the nature of the population exposed, and the conditions
of exposure. It is therefore more difficult to predict toxic hazard than
fire or explosion hazard. The nature of the criteria is discussed and a
scheme proposed for their application to the assessment of possible toxic
hazard to man and to the environment from major incidents. (Edited author

A brief review is given covering the development of major hazards risk
assessment since the Flixborough disaster of 1974, with special reference
to the introduction of new regulations. The importance of risk assessment
in the management of major hazards is discussed by reference to the Canvey
Island studies, and it is suggested that the problem of uncertainties in
the estimation of risks by analysis has not been adequately treated.
Qcaples are given to illustrate the magnitude of such uncertainties in the
consequence modelling of accidental releases from a chemical plant. In
addition to suggested development needs in risk analysis techniques, topics
are suggested which call for development in the evaluation and management
of risks. (Author abstract) Refs.

The paper derives criteria which can be applied to risk assessment for
those major consequences which could result in hurt to on-site personnel
and members of the public. These criteria are justified in the light of
other societal risks (both imposed and voluntary) and are integrated into
the cumulative risk to any individual. The methodology described is
applicable to releases of toxic gases. (Edited author abstract) 11 refs.

Greater media attention and increasing public awareness of major accident
hazards in Britain and elsewhere has produced demands for tighter safety
controls and more public information. There are now both voluntary and
statutory controls on town and country planning in and around major hazard
sites in Britain. This paper describes the controls and main areas of
research and suggests the directions in which future work might most
profitably proceed. (Edited author abstract) 24 refs.

Decisions concerning the deployment and management of novel or hazardous
technologies raise several issues involving the evaluation of their impacts
on society. Examples of such decisions include the siting of a liquefied
natural gas facility, the regulation of nuclear energy production, and the
screening and regulation of toxic chemicals. Each of these kinds of
decisions results in uncertain benefits and costs to society. The need to
60
-------
appraise the risks presented by a new or hazardous technology has led to
the development of several analytic techniques often referred to
collectively as risk assessment. 23 refs.

Toxic waste disposal has been very haphazard in the past. Only recently
has it been recognized that certain chemicals may persist for many years,
that they may migrate, and that drums containing than eventually corrode.
Toxic wastes have been and are still being handled in a number of ways.
They may be temporarily or permanently stored in controlled and
uncontrolled landfills. Occupational exposure may occur when such wastes
are handled, remedial actions are taken or warehouses containing chemical
wastes catch on fire. The general public may be exposed directly or
Indirectly. 18 refs.

Recently within the United States Chemical Processing Industry (CPI)
there has been a trend to assess certain aspects of processing risks
through the use of thermal analytical methods. Ihe initial result of this
trend has been the development of methods for the determination of thermal
hazards through the use of global-kinetics. These methods are both rapid
and easy to use but normally can only be applied to simple chemical
systems. Initially, an outline of the methods and the pitfalls involved in
doing such a complex investigation will be discussed. Finally, in support
of the theoretical section of the paper, two short examples will be
presented where this type of integrated analysis has been used. 6 refs.

Two separate models based on Dow Advanced Continuous Simulation Language
(DACSL) were used in these studies. The first model used laboratory data
and parameter estimation to determine the Arrhenius constants for two
desired and eight undesired reactions in a process. The second model used
the Arrhenius constants, heats of reaction, different physical properties,
and reactor parameters to simulate the effect of reaction conditions on the
temperature of the reaction mixture, pressure and gas flow rates in the
reactor, yield, and assay of the product. The program has been successfully
used in two scale-ups where the optimum safe operating conditions, effect
of various possible failures, and control of possible abnormal conditions
were evaluated. 3 refs.

in this paper, authors introduce a new method which is effective for the
analysis. They combine Fault Tree Analysis with Multi-variable Analysis by
considering sets of events. The grade of occurrence and the transition of
macro-events are fuzzified in the calculation of MFT. They can obtain
common characteristics of accidents through this analysis and the general
counterplans are easily deduced. They apply this method to the analysis on
real data of the plant-accidents happened in Kawasaki industrial area in 12
years and confirm its effectiveness. (Edited author abstract) 7 refs.

Consideration of world trade and shipping patterns shows that the chance
of a major incident occurring with release of chemicals such as to cause a
pollution problem is only about 1-2% of the corresponding likelihood of an
oil incident. If an incident with chemicals does occur, it will probably be
on only 10% of the physical scale of an oil incident. Furthermore, there is
only about a 10% chance of the released material being more harmful to the
environment than motor gasoline. Thus, the lack of incidents involving
chemicals over the years since MARPQL is shown to be due to the
71
-------
satisfactory nature of current trade practice rather than to persistent
good fortune. Even though an occasional 'chemical' incident in the future
may be expected, no case exists for a sudden significant change of current
practices. 8 refs.

Chemical engineers can use process modification to reduce risks
associated with 'new chemicals'. This paper discusses the new chemical
74
-------
review program and process modifications which have been, or could be, used
by industry to reduce risks. The risks discussed are not those more
frequently discussed in the literature, namely the risks associated with
loss prevention or capital investment; but rather the risks to human health
and the environment associated with potential releases of chemicals into
tne workplace and the environment. Options to reduce risks would interact
and therefore should be considered at the same time in planning a chemical
project.

has been used to assess the risks of the rail transportation of chlorine as
part of a larger exercise. A brief description of some parts of the model
is given to illustrate how it has been possible to use it for a transient
hazard. Some of the problem areas are discussed, and an indication is given
of how the risks are presented in terms of isorisk contours and/or F-N

There are a variety of 'safety systems' available to systematically
review projects to help identify hazards. However, most systems seem too
laborious to be practical and/or not applicable at all for use by
scientists engaged in bench research or scale-up work. This paper describes
some risk assessment techniques and a mechanism for identifying hazards
that are not burdensome and can readily be used by experimentalists. 1 ref.

Ihis paper addresses the issue of uncertainty in groundwater
contamination by applying risk analysis concepts to the problem of
industrial chemical spills. A hypothetical aquifer system is considered
that includes a factory and two water supply wells. Accidental spills of
solvent at the factory enter the aquifer, causing well solute
concentrations to exceed a mandated limit. Regulation forces the company
owning the factory to reduce the frequency and magnitude of the spills. Its
managers need to determine the optimal levels of investment in spill
control technologies that will achieve three objectives: minimize the cost
of cxjntamination prevention, minimize the proportion (ratio) of time in
which a maximum contaminant limit (MCL) is exceeded, and minimize the
sensitivity of the MCL exceedance ratio to uncertainties in aquifer
dispersivity. Simulation with a stochastic time series of spills gives
sample values of the MCL exceedance ratio for values of the investment
decision variables and dispersivity; the investment decisions determine the
statistics of the time series. Use of regression enables calculation of a
continuous function relating the contamination time ratio objective to
investments and dispersivity. The third objective is an approximation to
the standard deviation of the MCL exceedance ratio and is computed through
the risk dispersion index method (RDIM). (Edited author abstract) Refs.

Coatings protect steel from fire for safer petrochemical
plants.
Rubber & Plastics News July 12, 1976 p. 20
Smithers Scientific Services Inc is involved in evaluating fire resistant
coatings for use on exposed structural steel beams and supports. The
company's special projects manager, WA Rains, points out the importance of
protecting plant structure. Typical structural steel loses virtually half
its strength at a temperature of 1,000~F. Hydrocarbon materials commonly
present in plant operations have theoretical flame temperatures as high as
4 000~F—and while such temperatures usually are not achieved, the
accidental spill fire can reach temperatures of 1,600-2,000~F, within a few
minutes after ignition.
A demonstration of how the rate of heat rise affects the steel protecting
ability of a typical coating material is provided by comparative tests run
by Smithers. First, a sample of 4 in CD pipe, coated with the protective
material, was exposed to E-119 conditions. After 9 minutes, the steel
reached 230~F; at 38 minutes, the steel reached l,000~F, concluding the
test. An identical specimen was exposed to the Smithers 'High Rise' heat
application, and at 9 minutes, the steel measured 440~F, and it took only
22 minutes for the specimen to reach l,000~F.
93
-------
Rains says there is increasing interest in the idea of field coating
existing plant structural steel. The engineers are realizing that, even if
the fire resistant coatings do nothing more than buy them 15-20 minutes at
the start of a fire, that can often give them the time they need to effect
an orderly shutdown and isolate the blaze in one area, rather than having
the whole complex go up.

Batch chemical reactions involving highly reactive chemicals sometimes
must be used in the pharmaceutical industry. In one such case, a hazard
analysis identified inadvertent contacting of the reactive chemical with
water as a major hazard, requiring provision of an emergency venting system
to cope with gaseous reaction products. Experimental work demonstrated that
the reaction could, for practical purposes, be regarded as instantaneous.
The plant design must therefore include control measures to ensure that the
rate of gas evolution can be acconinodated by the emergency vent. 1 ref.

A sudden explosion, followed by a severe fire occurred on
December 9, 1984 after 13 years of operation. The high pressure
feed line to the ammonia converter in the synthesis loop of one
of N.S.M. Ammonia Units ruptured. As a consequence one of the
operators was fatally injured. This paper describes the
circumstances leading to the failure and the corrective action
that has been adopted to avoid similar accidents in the future.

A prolonged demand by society in Ontario for change and improvement in
the workplace has resulted in the Occupational Health and Safety Act of
1978. The new laws have iirposed new duties on members of society.
Employers, workers, supervisors and Joint Health and Safety conmittee
members all have new duties and in most cases require some education to
help than understand and perform these duties adequately. Generally, it is
not only the lack of education in occupational health and safety, but also
the attitude of both workers and management towards occupational health and
safety, which must be overcome.

Improving the design of energency relief systems.
Poole, G.
Process Engng., vol.66, no.5, May 1985, p.67, 69. , Coden: PSEGAP
ISSN 0370-1859
Languages: English
The design of reactor venting systems has been mostly governed by the FIA
(Factory Insurance Association) method. However, these are empirical
standards lacking understanding of the associated phenomena. In 1977, DIERS
(the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems, an international group
was set up under the auspices of the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers. Its research concentrates on providing more accurate vent sizing
methods, particularly where two phase flow is likely to occur. This article
reports on the results of a recent programme of DIERS. A computer program
has been developed for vent sizing and direct sizing can also be done
through small scale tests. (R.A.H.)

Plant size, design held responsible for some recent chemical
accidents.
* Chemical Marketing Reporter April l, 1985 p. 7
The solution to the problem of plant safety in the chemical industry is
plants that are smaller and simpler in design, according to TA Kletz of the
U of Technology (UK), speaking before a meeting of the American institute
of Chemical Engineers. Some 15-30 percent of the oil and chemical
industries' total capital costs are for safety and pollution control. Kletz
points out that the best way to prevent leaks of hazardous materials is to
use smaller quantities or use them at lower pressures. Reductions in
inventories of hazardous materials reduce costs.

Two full-scale quantitative safety analyses of chemical plants are
described. The analyses can obviously be used as a basis for decisions on
design improvement. But a naive use leaves an enormous potential for safety
improvement untapped. By interpreting the safety analysis as a basis for
safety management, a wider range of objectives can be achieved such as (1)
defense against as yet unidentified hazards; (2) setting priorities and
time scales for improvement; (3) distinguishing between trivial and serious
operational disturbances; (4) achieving a better relationship between
authority requirements and practical safety measures; and (5) providing a
point of focus for safety campaigns. The cost of a safety analysis intended
to fulfill these goals is about 30% higher than for a conventional risk
analysis, and requires a much more flexible range of safety criteria.

This paper is based on work carried out for the Canadian National
Research council. Potential systems for the transmission, storage
distribution, refuelling, and in-vehicle storage were selected. Schematic
designs were developed and each subjected to the hazard identification
procedure known as Hazard & Operability studies. This paper outlines the
strategy, the hazard identification approach and the results achieved with
particular reference to an LH//2 refuelling station. An outline is given of
some of the conclusions and recommendations, including the creation of a
National Hydrogen Safety Conmittee. (Author abstract) 6 refs.

Recently developed approaches for providing a decision support system
appropriate for rare events are described. Ihese start from the expertise
possessed by experienced plant operators, which is elicited by means of an
interactive computer system to produce an explicit model of their knowledge
base regarding the relationships between indicators, causes and
consequences. rniis can be used to model the diagnostic process where the
operator starts from an observed pattern of indicators and attempts to
infer events which may have led to this pattern. Computer programs LINK and
EXPLORE are briefly described.

An employer required by the OSHA. Hazard Conrunications Standard to
provide employee training needs, first, to determine which employees have
to be trained and, then, how comprehensive such training has to be. The
standard provides a definition of 'employee' which implies that there are
three types of workers: Type 1: Those whose 'job performance routinely
involves exposure to hazardous chemicals. ' This type includes production
workers and line supervisors assigned to work areas where hazardous
chemicals are produced or used. Type 2: Those 'who may be exposed to
hazardous chemicals during normal operating conditions. ' This type
includes repair, maintenance and custodial workers whose work assignment
114
-------
requires that they periodically enter work areas where hazardous chemicals
are produced or used. Type 3: Those 'who may be exposed to hazardous
chemicals during foreseeable emergencies. ' This type, regardless of the
exemption inferred from the standard, should include office workers,
grounds maintenance personnel, security personnel and all other employees
on the plant premises or who may visit the premises.

Programmable Logic Controllers can only be relied upon to replace the
'expert' operator if the software is accurate and precise. Task analysis is
a technique for representing the consensus opinion of a team of experts on
the correct way to carry out a batch process, in a format which is
comprehensible to the software programmer who is unfamiliar with the
process. By means of a case study, this paper illustrates the development
of the operating specification for a batch process, by the application of
task analysis. (Author abstract) 2 refs.

In the early 60s a beginning was made with the industrialisation of the
port area of Antwerp. Refineries, petrochemical and chemical industries
were put up one after the other. With the increasing number of dangerous
products stored or processed in these plants, the risk of a serious
accident or even a calamity, increased seriously. This prompted the
municipal authorities to take measures in order to prevent accidents and if
necessary to fight them efficiently.

Liquid-transportation technology is based on the properties of the
liquid, which must be thoroughly understood in order to mate transportation
judgements. Measurements of reactivity, flammability, and toxicity form the
Key database for good management decisions. Many types of containers are
available for packaging liquids for transportation; the shipper must relate
the package to the transportation mode, taking into account normal
transportation, effects of accidental spillage, package handling, and
warehousing logistics. Highway, rail, marine, and air transport modes are
discussed. Air transportation requires special concern for safety. Chemical
shippers must give assurance that air safety is not reduced by the
characteristics of the material or packaging offered for shipment. The
ultimate demand of transportation on the shipper is his role as steward of
the product. He can best assess safety and environmental iitpact. He can
ensure that steps are taken to protect persons, property, and environment
while his products are handled, stored, and transported. He is in the
strongest position to guide carriers, warehouses, and terminals. Only the
shipper can direct, train, and motivate his personnel. (FT)

TEN HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES WERE CHOSEN TO SHOW THE VARIED NATURE OF
SHIPPING HAZARDS IN INLAND WATERWAYS AND THE COST/RISK TRADEOFFS THAT WOULD
OCCUR IN TRANSPORT BY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION MODES. THE RISKS INUXVED
OF SHIPPING EACH SUBSTANCE WERE QUANTIFIED UTILIZING (1) THE EXPECTED
FRBQUENCY AND QUANTITY OF ACCIDENTAL RELEASES FOR EACH TRANSPORTATION MODE
BASED ON HISTORICAL DATA, (2) THE HAZARD DUE TO THE RELEASE BASED ON
PHYSICAL INIERACTIONS THAT TAKE PLACE ON LAND OR WATER, (3) RISKS TO
PEOPLE, PROPERTY AND THE ENVIRONMENT ARE EVALUATED FROM THE HAZARD
ASSESSMENT AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE VULNERABLE RESOURCES IN THE VICINITY OF THE
RELEASE. FOR THE CARGO FLOWS IN QUESTION, THE COST OF BARGE TRANSPORTATION
125
-------
IS CONSIDERABLY BELOW THAT OF RAIL OR TRUCK. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CHLORINE
AND BENZENE, THE ANNUAL EXPECTED EXPOSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSPORT OF
THESE SUBSTANCES IS LOWEST FOR BARGES. THE TRUCK MODE IS EQUALLY SAFE AMD
BOTH BARGE AND TRUCK ARE SUBSTANTIALLY SAFER THAN RAIL. THE FUTURE OP
TRANSPORTING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES BY BARGE SEEMS TO HINGE NOT ONLY ON THE
EXACT NATURE OF THE PENALTY SYSTEM TO BE IMPOSED BY THE EPA, BUT ALSO ON
WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE FOR CARRIERS/SHIPPERS TO BUY INSURANCE AGAINST CIVIL
PENALTIES. (AUFJU-WISCONSIN)

* Chemical & Engineering News December 23, 1985 p. 3
Although the plan is voluntary, Ermronmental Protection Agency believes
that it provides enough incentives to prevent accidents. Environmental
Protection Agency has developed a list of over 400 chemicals so toxic that
they would cause immediate acute health problems in the case of an
accidental release and has established specific toxicity criteria. If a
chemical's median lethal dose is less than or equal to 50 milligram/kg of
body weight by skin contact or 25 milligram/kg if swallowed, or if the
median lethal concentration in air is less than or equal to 0.5
milligram/L, the chemical is included on the list of acutely toxic
chemicals. By applying the criteria to NIOSH's Registry of Toxic Effects of
chemical Substances, Environmental Protection Agency developed a list of
379 chemicals, including solvents, intermediates, pesticides, inroganics,
liquids, gases and solids. Explosive, flammable, reactive or corrosive
chemicals were excluded from the list because it focuses on acute health
hazards. At least 141 chemicals listed are no longer made or inported into
the US.

Toxic and potentially toxic chemicals are now a part of the daily life of
most people in the world. Because of the ever-increasing volume of
chemicals being manufactured, transported, stored and disposed of as
wastes, it is inevitable that accidental spills will happen with increased
frequency. The purpose of this paper is to described contingency planning
for chemical accidents. First, the response approach should be based on the
magnitude of the accident. Levels are categorized from the operator level
to the international level. Second, the authors provide suggestions for a
systematic approach to the establishment of emergency response systems. The
structure and elements of response systems should include an alert system,
means of evaluation of the situation and the classification to the
accident, and the provision for the flow of information to appropriate
groups, including outside help. Finally, the need for protection, and, if
necessary, the rehabilitation, of water resources is discussed.

The Hazard Assessment Computer System (HACS) is one of six major
components of the Coast Guard's Chemical Hazards Response Information
System (CHRIS). CHRIS is designed primarly to provide timely information
essential for proper decision-making by responsible Coast Guard personnel
and others during emergencies involving the water transport of hazardous
chemicals. It also provides other basic information to support the Coast
Guard in its efforts to improve levels of safety in the bulk shipment of
hazardous chemicals. CHRIS consists of four reference guides or manuals, a
regional contingency plan, a hazard-assessment computer system (HACS), and
an organizational entity located at Coast Guard Headquarters. The four
manuals contain chemical data, hazard-assessment methods, and response
guides. 6 refs.

Recently developed approaches for providing a decision support system
appropriate for rare events are described. These start from the expertise
possessed by experienced plant operators, which is elicited by means of an
interactive computer system to produce an e>q>licit model of their knowledge
base regarding the relationships between indicators, causes and
consequences. This can be used to model the diagnostic process where the
operator starts from an observed pattern of indicators and attanpts to
infer events which may have led to this pattern. Computer programs LINK and
EXPLORE are briefly described.

DOC Type: CONFERENCE PAPER
History, basic concepts, organization and means of the Swiss Emergency
Organization are described, and some specific problems and solutions are
discussed. Preference is assigned to organizations, structures, and means
already in existence. The frame for coordination of the efforts is given by
-tUe principal arrangements of the total defense. The most important
installation is a permanent Monitoring Center operating 24 hr/d attached to
^jje national weather service. The concept of the emergency organization is
based on an analysis of the possible types of events, the sequences of
t-|iases of an accident, the dominant character of an incident, the
Detection objectives and the possible or available preventive and
protective measures. The systematic analysis of these factors shows clearly
in which cases the federal emergency organization has to operate and which
events can be handled with the normal means of the civil authorities.
special topics such as the concept of dose limits, vertical evacuation to
civil defense shelters or cellars and the project for an automatic

Part of a. small town in Sweden was covered by an Oleum gas cloud as a
result of an industrial accident. Although no serious damage was caused, at
the time/ unclear threat, resulted in partial evacuation as well as the
shut down of transport, schools, business etc. The perception of this
threat by those exposed to the gas as well as by a control group was mapped
bv means of a special instrument - the Wheel - as well as by intensive
interviews, ihe report describes and analyzes the relationship between the
perception of the threat and the reported coping style with it. Results
ghow that the quality of perception assessed along three dimensions:
Structure, involvement, and sense of control, can predict the type and
effectiveness of coping with the perceived stress.

* New York Times (National Edition) January 9, 1986 p. 14
The state of New Jersey will require chemical plants to develop plans for
preventing the accidental release of toxic chemicals under a new law, the
1st of its kind in the US. The law requires every plant that produces or
uses hazardous chemicals to have an accident-prevention program that is
approved by the State Department of Environmental Protection. Failure to
150
-------
ccnply with the law could result in fines of up to $50,000. She state will
have the power to review each firm's operations and require additional
measures to reduce the risk of an accident and to develop plans for firms
that fail to submit their own programs. Firms that violate provisions of
the law can be fined $10,000 for the 1st offense, $20,000 for the 2nd and
up to $50,000 for the 3rd. Substances affected under the new law are methyl
isocyanate, allyl chloride, bromine, chlorine, phosphorus trichloride,
pnosgene, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen
cyanide and toluene-2,4-diisocyanate.

Governor TH Kean of New Jersey has signed into law a bill to prevent
accidental release of toxic chemicals into the environment. Companies that
handle or store hazardous substances must register with the state and
develop risk management plans to handle emergencies. The new measure is the
1st of its kind in the US. Tine New Jersey Department of Environmental
protection has been given the authority to review companies' risk
management plans and order changes. Hie interim list of toxic chemicals
includes phosgene, methyl isocyanate, phosphorous trichloride,
toluene-2,4-diisocyanate, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen
cyanide, hydrogen chlorine, bromine, chlorine and allyl chloride.

Environmental Protection Agency eased reporting rules for accidental
spills of 160+ hazardous industrial chemicals and proposed easing
requirements on 41 others. The agency issued final rules for 40 chemicals
allowing firms or plant managers to avoid notifying the government unless
the accidental release involves 5,000 pound or more. The reporting limit
previously established was 1 pound. Environmental Protection Agency did not
change requirements for accidental leaks of methyl isocyanate.>

REPORT NO.: p 221-226
JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT: 8109
Rapidly expanding petrochemical and chemical refinery, storage, and
manufacturing facilities, with related water transportation systems have
significantly increased the risk of a major chemical accident in or along
an urbanized port or waterway, in particular, the rapidly expanding ports
in the Gulf of Mexico. Port safety regulations are engineering and
operations oriented and will eventually fail to ensure the safe movement
163
-------
and handling of bulk hazardous substances in urbanized areas as tonnages
and vessel traffic congestion continue to increase. The only viable
solution is coastal land use planning which can be used to locate these
facilities and traffic routes in remote, unpopulated coastal and river
areas.

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), passed into law in 1977, gives
the EEA broad authority to regulate both new and existing chemicals. Based
on recent activities, 1984 promises to be a banner year for the issuance of
new EPA rules, regulations and policies implementing TSCA. Many of these
new activities will affect both manufacturers and processors of industrial
chemicals. Among the expected iitpacts are increased raw material costs,
increased restrictions on workplace practices and increased reporting and
record-keeping requirements. The year 1984 also is expected to see an
increase in EPA inspection activities and congressional debate on TSCA
amendments. This paper reviews these new developments and their impact on
the radiation cure industry. (Author abstract)

The Association of American Railroads has undertaken a program to bridge
the gap between first response and longer-term environmental cleanup. Two
information systems nave been developed and targeted at two basic levels of
spill response. The Emergency Action Guides are intended for the first
responder. These are printed commodity-specific pamphlets designed to
assist those who are first on the scene until chemical or technical
assistance can be obtained. To support chemical or technical decisions, a
computerized system, the Industrial Chemical Accident Response Information
System (ICARIS), was developed and integrated with a series of
environmental and mathematical models to allow real-time assessment of
chemical release problems. The design considerations inherent in both
systems promote the evaluation of the long-term consequences associated
with emergency spill response activities. 2 refs.

Methods for treating spills of three types of electroplating process
solutions are evaluated. Results of experiments using ferrous sulphate and
sodium metabisulphate to treat hexavalent chrome verify their
effectiveness. Treatment of cyanides by catalytic oxidation and alkaline
chlorination yielded satisfactory results. Acids were neutralized with
nvdrated lime, soda ash, and caustic soda. A contingency plan for the
electroplating shop at Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas, to detect
and treat spills is presented; a general discussion of this shop is
Included. (Davison-IPA)

At a former chemical manufacturing plant site in a populated area of
Houston, Texas, a corroded chlorine railroad tank car presented a serious
potential public health threat. The insulated railroad tank car was placed
on concrete supports in 1970 to serve as a facility storage tank. The
presence of chlorine had to be assumed, and valves and associated piping
and platform of the dome were so severely corroded as to preclude standard
approaches to investigation. A conservative approach to safely determine
the tank's contents and to remove any chlorine was developed. Provision was
made for control of chlorine releases, and the need for long-term
evacuation of the public was avoided. Development and implementation of
this approach are discussed. Hie tank car was found to be empty. 2 refs.

SPILL PREVENTION APPLIES TO ALL TYPES OF SPILLS AND IS DESCRIBED AS THE
FIRST AND SIMPLEST APPROACH TO SPILL CONTROL. A SOUND PREVENTION PROGRAM
SHOULD INCLUDE SEVERAL ELEMENTS, SUCH AS DESIGN, INSPECTTON, MAINTENANCE
TRAINING, AND PLANNING. THE MOST CRITICAL RESPONSE ACTION TO BE TAKEN IS TO
LEARN WHAT CHEMICAL HAS SPILLED AND TO DEPLOY THE CORRECT RESPONSE
TECHNIQUES. THE USE OF PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND METHODS AVAILABLE FOR SPILL

Medical response to chemical spills should not be solely for the purpose
of treating acute injuries. The physician at the scene of a chemical spill
should be prepared to institute the beginnings of an epidemiologic survey
for that incident. It is essential to determine the characteristics of the
exposure, any unique situations which may affect that exposure and the
immediate signs and symptoms of the victims. A well documented and thorough
history is essential. In many situations it is necessary to define index
cases for study and follow-up.

OHis paper describes an experimental investigation carried out to
establish the performance characteristics of full-scale water spray
barriers when dispersing accidental spills of heavy gases, approximately
one hundred trials were conducted in which the influences of various
parameters on the overall performance of a barrier were investigated
particularly the spray nozzle characteristics and the orientation of the
barrier. Carbon dioxide was used as a representative heavy gas with source
strengths of 2 and 4. 2 kg/s. The average wind speeds were 1-4 m/s during
the majority of the trials. It is confirmed that the specific momentum flow
rate of the spray barrier is a significant factor in determining its
overall performance. 19 refs.

Contract Nb.: W-7405-ENG-48
A new concept for the detection and tracking of toxic or flammable gases
resulting from accidental spills or leaks is presented. The Backscatter
Absorption Gas Imaging (BAGI) technique is based on the optical radiation
augmentation of the field of view of an imaging device by laser radiation
corresponding to an absorption line of the gas species to be detected. The
technique also requires that there be a reflective or scattering background
in the field of view and that the laser wavelength correspond to an
atmospheric window. Several schematic representations of possible BAG!
systems, along with some minimum detectable gas concentrations and laser
combinations, are presented. In addition, a list of about 20 toxic and
flammable materials which show a high probability of absorption of carbon
dioxide (CO sub 2 ) laser radiation are included. The BAGI system
performance parameters of laser power, image system spectral bandwidth,
terrain reflectivity, and range are discussed. The laser power requirements
are greatly reduced by synchronizing the unexpended laser beam with the
raster-like, scanning field of view of the flying-spot imager. it is
estimated that a production-grade BAGI system will cost about $50K per
unit. An example of the range and detection sensitivity for the BAGI
methane gas detection system are presented and discussed. (ERA citation

An evaluation of the potential ha sards of three compressed oxygen
self-contained self-rescuers (SCSR) designed for use in underground coal
mines is reported. The evaluation took place along the lines of a similar
investigation of chemical self-rescuers, and involved laboratory
experiments as well as trials designed to simulate a mining environment.
They included bullet impact, bonfire, feeder breaker impact and
feed-through and mining machine runover tests. The work showed that the
units were not inherently unsafe but that under certain conditions of
extreme abuse they can present a potential ignition or explosion hazard.
rjjie reccnmendations formulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) state that the units should be either properly worn by the miner,
stored in heavy containers or otherwise protected from situations in which
the units might be accidentally ruptured or destroyed, such as being
runover by mobile mining equipment. 2 refs.

To illustrate the possible use of computers and data banks in quick
responses to chem. spills, a hypothetical scenario is presented in
which a tank truck accident results in the spill of an unidentified
liq. in a ditch by the side of the highway; the unconscious truck
driver is taken to a hospital; the local fire chief arrives with her
portable computer, printer, software, and radio; the fire chief uses
her computer and radio linkup with the National Spill Response Center
(Canada) to identify the spilled material and det. the proper
measures to be taken; and needed countermeasures are taken.

UK: An improved method to contain coal mine explosions
is under developnent by the Health & Safety Executive at its
Buxton, England, lab.
Chemistry & Industry August 1, 1983 p. 575
The triggered barrier technique is under test in at least 12 National
Coal Board collieries. The barrier consists of a long cylinder containing
water and nitrogen (in a separate compartment) at pressure. A nearby sensor
detects heat from an approaching explosion, triggering nitrogen release
through a fast acting valve, and activating a piston forcing water out
radially from the cylinder. Some 227 L of water is ejected within 180 ms.
The new system is more expensive than the conventional stone dust barrier*
but has advantages in low-ceilinged, fast-moving coal faces, where stone
dust barriers are difficult to maintain. HSE is also developing a
techniqueto reduce risk of explosions following accidental release of
denser-than-air gases at chemical plants. Water is sprayed upwards from a
bank of nozzles arranged along the pipeline, causing turbulence and mixing
the gas cloud with air.

The Backscatter/Absorption Gas Imaging (BAGI) technique is a premising
new concept for the location and tracking of hazardous gases. The
fundamental principle of the technique is that if hazardous gases were
visible to the human eye, it would be easy to locate the source of a leak
or, in the case of an accidental spill, to determine the extent and
direction of movement of the resulting vapor cloud. Die ability to image
these gases thus represents a very practical emergency response tool. The
BAGI technique offers a simple way to accomplish these goals by integrating
an infrared (ER) laser and an IR imaging system. An airborne BAGI system
could be used to determine the location of hazardous gas clouds resulting
from disabled vessels at sea, train derailments or tanker truck accidents.
This real-time capability would provide valuable input for evacuation
decisions facing emergency response teams. The BAGI technique shows promise
as a long-range detection system capable of quickly locating the sources of
hazardous gas and monitoring the dispersion clouds even at very low
concentration levels. The system is simple to operate and interpret, and is
composed of field-proven instruments which should make commercialization
easy. 2 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab. (ERA citation 11:007816)

AB Of all the measures examd. for the control of the vapor or gas
component of spills of chems. and liquefied gases (33 priority
substances), lifting and dispersing the vapor or gas plume is by far
the most feasible control technique; although the method does not
recover the contaminant or render it harmless, the risk to human
health and the immediate environment is greatly reduced. The 2nd
most promising system for vapor control from spills is the use of a
burner or flare to combust the escaping substances; however this
method is applicable to combustible materials, involves more risk,
and requires more development. The use of absorption, adsorption,
and recompression and condensation/liquefaction does not appear
feasible because of the wt. of materials and equipment required.

The actual risks from toxic chemicals probably peaked in the late 1950s
and early 1960s when there were few controls on industry, but public
awareness of the risk is a product of the last 15 years. Scientists and
doctors and environmental groups began saying two things, both equally
important: first, that the chemicals were dangerous, real problems; and
second, that the problems could be fixed. Only then did the risks from
toxic chemicals begin to make people angry and afraid.

Milk samples were collected following the accidental release of TOD from
a chemical plant at Seveso in Jin. 1976. Samples of 75-100 mL were dried,
the residue processed, and the aliquots analyzed by GC-mass
fragmentography. Quantitative determination of TCDD was made by peak height
comparison between samples and known amounts of standard TCDD. The
detection limit, calculated on 180 negative samples, averaged 32+/-19 (SD)
ng/L of milk and ranged from 10 to 120 ng/L. The highest TCDD levels were
found in samples collected close to the chemical plant; levels decreased
over time when >1 sample was collected at different times from the same
farm. High levels (>7 ppb) indicate that human exposure must have occurred
through the consumption of dairy products. With l exception, data from a
1978 monitoring program suggest that TCDD is not accumulating to measurable
levels in cow's milk outside the contaminated zone. (FT)

Bhopal: The endless aftershocks.
* Chemical Week December 19, 1984 p. 33-42
World: Chemical industry execs are taking a look at their operations
following the accident at Union Carbide India's Bhopal plant, and govt
officials are seeking ways to prevent similar tragedies. Union Carbide (us)
and its Indian subsidiary have offered to provide $1.84 mil in emergency
aid to victims of the accident. OSHA sent teams of investigators to
Carbide's plants at Institute, WV, and Woodbine, GA, to examine safety
practices and plans to investigate the operations of other chemical firms
that use methyl isocyanate to produce pesticides. A House Energy & Commerce
subcommitte will hold hearings on EPA's activities to prevent chemical
accidents in the US.
Carbide is the only US producer of methyl isocyanate (MIC), and Bayer (w
Germany) the sole European producer. According to SRI Intnl, us consumption
of MIC reached 23-28 mil Ib in 1982, although capacity is nearly 50 mil u>.
Several US pesticide producers buy MIC from Union Carbide for use as an
intermediate in methomyl, carbofuran and other pesticides. Carbide requires
its customers to rigorously train their workers on the safe handling and
storage of MIC and will not sell to any firm that violates procedures
during operation or cleanup.
FMC do Brasil will probably delay start-up of its $5 mil, 500 m tpy
carbofuran plant in Uberaba, Brazil, due to the Bhopal accident. The plant

Emergency Reference Levels for Reactor Accidents: A Re-Examination of the
Windscale Reactor Accident
Baverstock, K. F., and J. Vennart
* Health Physics, Vol. 30, No, 4, pages 339-344, 19 references April 1976
CCDEN: HLTPAO
Application of the data in the Medical Research Council report on
••Criteria for Controlling Radiation Doses to the Public after Accidental
Release of Radioactive Material" to the circumstances of the Windscale
reactor accident, confirms the views held at the time of the accident that
iodine-131 was the most important radionuclide concerned, especially with
respect to its ingest ion in milk by infants, and that control of milk
distribution would significantly reduce its effects. Estimates of dose in
thyroids using data in the report and activities of iodine-131 in air, on
pasture and in milk measured at the time of the accident agree well with
those made from direct measurements of the activities of iodine-131 in
human thyroids. It is shown that the dose resulting from ingestion of
strontium-89, strontium-90, iodine-131 and cesium-137 in milk can be many
times greater than from inhalation of these radionuclides after their
accidental release to the environment. This has a important bearing on the
siting of nuclear reactors in relation to milk producing areas.

An emergency response system for chemical accidents is designed to reduce
the inpact of an accident by rapid containment. It is necessary to know the
nature of the chemicals; how to deal with them; the toxic, physical, and
chemical properties of the materials; and the level of risk involved in
contact, both for the emergency crews and the adjacent population, To
prepare this report, two background studies were made: l) Organizational
model of a countrywide emergency response system for chemical accidents*
and 2) survey of existing system components in European countries. Two case
studies were also submitted: The release of 2, 3, 7
8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TOD) at Seveso, Italy; and the release of
chlorine in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The studies recommended the
publishing of guidelines which are contained in section l of this document.
Section 2 contains the result of the survey of existing procedures and
arrangements for dealing with emergencies and accidents involving toxic or
potentially toxic chemicals. Section 3 contains the two case studies
mentioned.

AB - PESTAB. Effects of tetrachloro dibenzo-p- dioxin (TCDD) on human
health are reviewed. Accidental exposures have afforded an
insight into the ramifications for humans of exposure to this
substance. The largest exposure accident occurred in north Italy
where a mixture of materials containing TCDD were exploded over a
large area of land being used for industrial, urban, and
agricultural purposes. Headaches, nausea, vomiting, and skin
disorders were all reported among those thousands exposed to the
toxic chemicals, the most toxic of which was TCDD. Severe liver
disorders, chloracne, emphysema, myocardial degeneration,
hypertension with resulting kidney damage, neurological
disturbances, and a single case of intestinal carcinoma have been
reported due to TCDD exposure in earlier explosions. A caiman
feature of all the industrial accidents has been the persistence
of TCDD in the contaminated areas, as well as the persistence of
the toxic effects experienced by the exposed persons. The long
227
-------
term effects of TCDD exposure are not certain at this time.
Environmental contamination by dioxins is increasing due to the
extensive use of chemicals containing minute quantities of these
compounds. Results of laboratory investigations on TCDD exposed
nonhuman primates, and of low level exposure of rats to TCDD are
reported. Data thus far indicate that anemia, leukopenia,
gastritis, and ulceration, irregularities in menstrual cycles,
difficulties in conception, early abortions, abnormal births,
alterations in the iimune response and cancer may be aftermaths
of chronic low level exposure to TCDD.
