Risk analysis in hazardous industries.
The importance of the approach of risk analysis in industry, as an anticipatory action to prevent disasters, and the principles involved in it are discussed. Toxicological considerations of long-term low-dose exposure during routine operations and short-term high-dose exposure after chemical accidents are outlined. On the basis of these concepts a rationale for preliminary assessment of disaster-prone industries is presented.
