Article Preview

Abstract:

Modern chemical accidents may easily turn into environmental calamities, which can result in a number of social and public health problems. Therefore, environment, health and social issues caused by chemical process relevant incidents should be taken over in order to minimize the accident loss and not develop to the environmental pollution. Here the eight accident cases of the chemical produce are presented, and some improvements are provided on the basis of the analysis of the related chemical accidents, which could be helpful for the accident prevention, and environmental conservation and personnel protection.
