In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Understand the mechanisms of accidental dispersion of hazardous substances and the associated regulatory toxicity thresholds

Two days on the dispersion of an accidental cloud or release and on the toxicity thresholds used to assess effects on people.

Key challenges

Dispersion depends on weather, terrain and substance: the same release does not have the same effects from one day to another.
Toxicity thresholds correspond to specific exposure durations that are often confused.

Learning objectives

Acquire the fundamentals needed for a health or environmental risk assessment.
Conduct or contribute to an assessment within the applicable regulatory framework.

Detailed programme

1Scientific fundamentals (toxicology, environmental chemistry) used in the assessment.
2Health or environmental risk assessment methodology and associated regulatory framework.

Target audience

Environmental engineers, toxicologists and QHSE staff.

Prerequisites

Basic scientific knowledge recommended.

Learning methods

In-person training, scientific input and case study.

Learning assessment

Risk-assessment case study.

Scope of application

The methodological and regulatory framework for these assessments depends on the country, sector and substances concerned; it evolves with available scientific knowledge.
