Integrated Environmental Risk Assessment of Major Accidents in the Transport of Hazardous Substances

At present, the environmental risk assessment of major accidents is mainly carried out for stationary risk sources. Only marginal attention is paid to mobile risk sources, while the currently available methodologies require a relevant expertise and time for their application, which is only partially...
