| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While environmental risks induced by dispersion of chemical substances from factories in normal condition are estimated and managed with some data such as PRTR system, it is still under development process to manage impacts generated through discharge of hazardous substances in emergency situations such as accidents and earthquakes. After identifying the target substance and factory in Kanagawa prefecture, we estimated environmental risks which included casualty and health impact by the acute effect, as well as distribution of risk levels considering the probability and population. The results suggest that casualty risk would be higher within around 1 km, and the estimation could be suitable to understand distribution of risks.
