Abstract
In this chapter, a set of methods and algorithms for quantitative consequence assessment (i.e., health and environmental impact) of accidental releases of hazardous substances (i.e., toxic and flammable) are presented. The effects are analyzed through the biological effects produced by different types of physical effects (phenomena) that occur during or following a loss of containment (LOC) event.
