background: chemical contaminants present in the work environments include gases, vapors, and solid and liquid suspended particles. the number of factories producing chemicals has increased significantly. each year, new products are introduced into the market. consequently, the number of employees at risk of exposure to these materials is increased. hazardous chemicals are used in the petrochem...

Hazardous chemical is the chemical product in chemical industry. Hazardous chemicals are often toxic. Some hazardous chemicals are corrosive, or easily lead to explosion. In the process of production, storage and transportation, hazardous chemicals can easily lead to leakage or explosion accidents. These result in a large number of casualties and damage to the surrounding environment. Logistics...

Title IIIofthe SuperfundAmendments andReauthorizationActof1986seeks to reduce the risks of chemical accidents through a strategy of indirect regulation that relies onproviding the public with information about chemi­ cal1uJzards. For thisstrategy to be effective, citizensmustaggressively utilize the information provided to monitor industrial practices and press for risk reduction. Since prior r...

Nowadays, the necessity of safeguarded environments is stronger than ever. The defence of public areas against terroristic threats requires intelligent security assistance systems that comprise state-of-the-art surveillance technology to localize persons with hazardous materials. The recent progress in the detection of hazardous materials by a new generation of chemical sensors leads to an incr...

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the development trend of hazardous chemical packaging towards low carbon economy from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. Four types of relatively small volume packaging with volume/weight less than 450L/400kg, respectively, and three intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), which are widely used for hazardous chemicals were studied to calculate ...

As the hazardous chemical transportation traffic accident is getting more and more serious, this paper designs a kind of active safety warning system for hazardous chemical transportation vehicle. The content of this paper mainly includes the composition and principle, establishment of theoretical model of safety distance, design of avoidance control strategy and algorithm and so on. This paper...
