Industrial Site Spill Modeling

TL;DRAbstract

Industrial complexes in the United States have many safeguards against chemical spills. Spills within the confines of the facility boundaries result in lost productivity, material losses, risks to human health and the environment, regulatory fines, and negative publicity. Containing a spill within the facility boundaries provides some measure of legal and physical protection for the company. Occasionally spills occur that move beyond the protection of the industrial site physical boundaries. This increases the risk and consequence to the facility's neighbors and the natural environment. Potentially, the impacted community can be quite large.
