Description: This project supports participation by 17 U.S. scientists in a U.S.-India workshop on enviromental risk analysis to be held at the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, December 11-15, 1989. The objectives of the workshop include: review of the state-of-the-art methods in risk assessment and emergency preparedness related to the use of hazardous materials in large quantities by the chemical and petroleum industries; improve quantification aspects of risk assessment dealing with engineering failures, health effects and dispersion modeling; and develop strategies for emergency preparedness related to accidents involving toxic/inflammable materials. It is expected that a transfer of knowledge to various user agencies will be accomplished. Four technical sessions will deal with: engineering aspects of risk assessment; health effects aspects of risk assessment; transfer and fate of toxic air pollutants vis-a-vis dispersion modeling and risk management. The Indian co-director is Dr. M.P. Singh, Head, Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, (IIT), New Delhi. Scope: The idea of this topic for a workshop was one of the recommendations of a workshop on risk assessment techniques and management held at IIT Delhi in October 1987. The idea was later endorsed by the Indo-U.S. Subcommission on Science and Technology in its November 1987 meeting. The topic is clearly of great interest to heavily industrialized countries such as the U.S. and also to countries with large populations and increasing industries such as India as evidenced by the incidents in Bhopal, Chernobyl and Mexico City. The workshop is likely to provide better scientific basis for decision-making to prevent major disasters and to deal with situations after accidents. The workshop is likely to benefit scientists in the U.S. and India

说明：本项目支持17人参与 美国科学家在美国-印度环境问题讲习班 风险分析将在印度研究所举行， 1989年12月11日至15日，新德里的技术。 的 讲习班的目标包括：审查 风险评估和紧急情况的最新方法 与使用危险材料有关的准备工作 化学和石油工业大量使用; 改进风险评估处理量化方面 工程故障，健康影响和分散 建立模型;制定应急准备战略 涉及有毒/易燃物质的事故 材料. 预计知识转让将 将完成各种用户机构。 四个技术 会议将处理：工程方面的风险 风险评估的健康影响方面; 有毒空气污染物的迁移和归宿 分散建模和风险管理。 印度 副主任是 M. P. Singh博士， 大气科学，印度理工学院， (IIT)，新德里。 范围：研讨会的这一主题的想法是 风险评估讲习班的建议 10月在印度理工学院德里举行的技术和管理会议 1987. 这个想法后来得到了印度-美国的支持。 科学和技术小组委员会11月 1987年会议。 这个话题显然是非常感兴趣的， 像美国这样的重工业化国家， 人口众多的国家， 印度等行业， 博帕尔，切尔诺贝利和墨西哥城。 研讨会很可能 为决策提供科学依据， 防止重大灾害和处理后的情况 事故为重点 该研讨会可能会使科学家受益， 美国和印度
