| 520 | |a The growth of chemical industries has increased the hazard, risk and vulnerability of the population and the environment. Although accidents in major chemical industries are less frequent, they do pose severe hazard to life and can create havoc on the immediate environment depending on the toxicity of the materials involved, terrain features and meteorological conditions and demography. During a sudden release of hazardous chemicals from a storage tank due to accidents or improper handling, the chemicals may quickly evaporate and form a large cloud of gas which may remain in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), appearing in various hazardous substances lists, can pose a significant vapour hazard, which may cause spontaneous combustion and explosion. This study considers accidental release of LPG and associated risks imposed on society by modelling their dispersion using ALOHA (Areal Location of Hazardous Atmosphere) air dispersion model and human vulnerability assessment using GIS. ALOHA can approximately calculate the area that would be affected by chemical hazards. In this study, using ALOHA, the five possible hazardous outcomes of LPG release are assessed. Mapping of threat zones associated with the accidental release of LPG is done with the help of Arc GIS. | ||
