Modeling the Formation and Release of Hazardous Substances in the Loss of control of Chemical Systems containing Brominated Flame Retardants

摘要

A preliminary assessment of the consequences of the formation of hazardous substances in "out of control" conditions was performed for chemical systems of industrial importance where brominated flame retardants are present. The study was based on an extended preliminary experimental work. The scenarios analyzed resulted in the possibility of severe off-site contamination due to particulate deposition following fires. The relevance of these scenarios with respect to the possible application of the obligations of Directive 96/82/EC should be thoroughly considered.
