Abstract:

The calculation of damage level due to the exposure to a toxic cloud is usually not included in most popular software, or it is included using techniques that do not take into account the variation in concentration over a period of time. In this work, a method is introduced for calculating the temporal evolution of the potential damage level and to obtain a more precise and descriptive estimation of this level. The proposed goal is:

  • to estimate the maximum and minimum damage level experienced by a population due to the exposure to an airborne chemical with a time-varying concentration;
  • to be able to assess the damage level experienced in a progressive way, as the exposure to the airborne chemical occurs.
