Toxic industrial chemicals and civil protection. Methods of analysis for damage estimation as a result of accidental releases and not, export profiles and stockpiles of antidotes

The risk of accidents caused by the dispersion of hazardous chemicals is a real and ever- present risk. Leaks can occur in the transport phases of the leaks rather than as a result of accidental or caused industrial accidents. The European Union, through the application of product regulations (REACH, CLP, Biocide product and Plant Protection Product) aims to guarantee safe use of chemicals within the Union and with PIC Rgulations promotes the shared responsibility during the export dangerous chemicals ban or severely restricted in UE. The study of inhalation toxicity the substances listed in the PIC Regulation is therefore a fundamental element for predicting the damage to the exposed population. In order to quantify the damages, predictive methods were used to indicate the quantitative estimates of the damages, allowing, on the basis of the results, to hypothesize and update adequate stocks of antidotes. Attention has also been paid to the fight against ionizing radiation with the proposal of a kit to reduce the damage to the health of personnel possibly exposed. As a result, emphasis was placed on the risk of transporting Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) at low temperatures, in terms of the high risk of explosion and flammability. The risk of missing an update of the equipment of the advanced second level medication posts, which lack medicinal oxygen in their supplies, was highlighted. Substances with a high inhalation toxicity higher than some war weapons such as Soman, Sarin, Tabun and Vx have been identified, highlighting a risk both for operators in the sector and for the population possibly exposed. Export flows of PICs from Europe to other continents over the last 16 years were analyzed.
