- Abstract
- The ACUTEX project was a three-year research activity funded within the EU 5th Framework Programme for Research and Technology Development. Its objective was to develop the methodology, the software tools and a Technical Guidance Document (TGD) for establishing European Acute Exposure Threshold Levels (AETLs) in case of accidental chemical release. The methodology to derive AETLs is intended to speed-up the harmonised implementation of the Council Directive 96/82/EC known as the SEVESO II Directive on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances. In developing the methodology, the different national practices in industrial accident risk assessment, for both emergency and land-use planning, have been taken into account. The intention is that the new methodology would become a recommended and harmonised tool used by experts on the safety of production installations and be endorsed by risk decision-makers in the whole EU.
