Natural Calamities:
The Indian subcontinent is highly prone to natural
disasters, which can also trigger chemical disasters.
Damage to phosphoric acid sludge containment during
the Orissa super cyclone in 1999 and the release of
acrylonitrile at Kandla Port, during an earthquake in
2001, are some of the examples.
Terrorist Attacks/Sabotage:
Vulnerability to chemical disasters is
further compounded by likely terrorist
and warfare activities, which include
sabotage and attack on HAZCHEM
installations and transportation vehicles.
This can occur at sources or anywhere
and at any time.
