| Abstract |
This study concerns the project of relocation of a high-risk distillery plant, placed inside the town of Faenza in northern Italy. The size and the characteristics of the plant, which handles large quantities of agricultural products and dangerous chemicals, pose serious health and safety problems both to the town population and the surrounding environment. An impact assessment procedure was therefore carried out using qualitative and quantitative parameters in order to identify a limited number of relocation sites. This procedure included the simulation of possible chemical accident scenarios together with their countermeasures. Some locations for a new plant were excluded because of the vicinity of houses or the risk of polluting underground water supplies. A weighed factor evaluation system was developed (factors included visual impact, noise, traffic and contamination), leading to an eventual choice of a new location for this plant. |
