The issue of environmental risk assessment currently deserves great attention. In order to protect the environment, maintain healthy living conditions, and prevent environmental damage, the member states of the European Union have adopted a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage. The directive classifies two types of operators with different liability regimes for environmental damage, namely, the regime with no-fault (strict) liability and liability for fault. With the adoption of the directive, among experts, operators and the general public have posed questions about how to assess the risk of environmental damage. At present, there is still no uniform procedure for assessing environmental risks, which would create a comprehensive methodological framework for assessment for this type of risk. Due to the non-existent risk assessment methodology for operators with strict liability regimes and the lack of a systematic search for risk sources, a risk assessment procedure is proposed that provides guidance in a sequence of several steps on how to implement the obligations arising from the adopted Environmental Liability Directive. The proposed procedure was verified on a specific operator with a strict liability regime. The environmental risk analysis performed through the proposed procedure provided information on possible operational problems and verified its applicability. Last but not least, the use of the proposed procedure makes it possible to identify serious sources of risk and to establish necessary preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of environmental damage.

The purpose of the article is to present a methodological approach to assessing the state of the risk to the environment from man-made emergencies at chemically hazardous sites. The methodological approach is based on an expert method, the use of which allowed the authors to create the structure of the risk management system and, determine the plurality of criteria parameters while taking into account their weight in the formation of the environmental consequences of chemical accidents. Criteria parameters were grouped into clusters of physicochemical and toxicological properties of hazardous chemicals used at a chemical plant, equipment operating at an enterprise, personnel, and environmental vulnerability. The research became the basis of the Guidelines for Assessing the Environmental Risk from Emergencies at Chemically Hazardous Sites. As an example, the article presents the calculation of the level of environmental risk for a terrestrial site from the metallurgical enterprise LLP Kazakhmys Smelting, in Zhezkazgan town, Republic of Kazakhstan. The developed methodology is the basis of the Information and Analytical System for Assessing the Environmental Consequences of Man-made Emergencies, which allows users to facilitate the implementation of a set of measures aimed to forecast and reduce the impact of emergency’s damaging factors on the environment.

“…In environmental risk system a Chemical Industry Facilities can be defined as a risk source, also named stationary source. Some methods for environmental risk identification and assessment were developed in recent years [9,10], for example, Huang proposed a two-scale system for the assessment of the risk level of chemical industry clusters [11]. Because of the lack of techniques, regulation and law systems for risk management in China, it is still difficult to implement effective environmental risk management.…”

Environmental risk prevention has been included in China's national environmental protection plan of the Twelve Five-year (2011-2015). The establishment of environmental risk management system is an important issue for accident prevention and risk control. With reference to the general guidance on risk management programs for chemical accident prevention of the US EPA, the main procedures of environmental risk management and risk level classification for chemical facilities in urban area were proposed. The proposed method was applied to the identification of risks of chemical facilities in Luoyang city, Henan Province, and the facilities were classified into three risk levels. The results showed that five facilities were of low risk, two of middle risk and seven of high risk among 60 facilities in the main urban area, accounting for 8.3%, 3.3% and 11.7% of the total. Different management measures were taken into account for the facilities with different risk levels. It is suggested that for the facilities with high risks, besides the daily risk management, the environmental risk receptor investigation, the public participation and the preparation of emergency response plans should be strengthened, which were helpful for the prevention of environmental pollution accidents and the reduction of environmental hazards.
