Publicizes the book "Fundamentals Of Stack Gas Dispersion" a reference book on dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant pollution plumes. Includes published peer reviews, complete Table of Contents, and information about how to obtain copies.

This article presents and explains two published source-term models for calculating the time-dependent decrease in pressure, temperature and weight of gas in a pressurized gas system or vessel during an accidental release.

Information about EPA and OSHA regulations and compliance.

A description of how safety works at the chemical plant and in the lab.

A bibliographic and scientific database on the control of major hazard industrial activities. CDCIR contains public documents issued by governmental institutions, industry and research institutes. Bibliographic data include document-related data fields, e.g. title, original title, year of publication, source, availability, key words and abstract.

The Sector Facility Indexing Project integrates information from a host of data systems to produce facility-level profiles relating to facility-by-facility compliance history, pollutant releases, toxicity of pollutants, demographics of surrounding population, and production or capacity.

A sensitivity study of the Gaussian dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant pollution plumes illustrating how seemingly minor changes in some of the key variables can result in a propagated over-prediction factor ranging from 6 to 80.

An engineering resource for users of Hydrocarbon Flares and associated equipment.

The Major Accident Hazard Bureau of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre held a workshop to address concerns about current practice relative to prevention of ammonium nitrate incidents following the catastrophic incident on at the Grande Paroisse site in Toulouse, France. The site contains the agenda, the presentations and the final report of the workshop.

A special Unit dedicated to scientific and technical support for the actions of the European Commission in the area of the control of Major Industrial Hazards. Site gives access to Guidance Documents and the Major Accident Reporting System (MARS)and Seveso Plants Information Retrieval System (SPIRS)databases.
