“…The PROBIT methodology was proposed as a simplified method to quantify the effect or damage to populations through the PROBIT function or equation by relating it to the variables that cause the effect or damage. This method has been used to quantify the effect or damage caused by almost any hazardous agent, such as blast overpressure effects, toxic gas and so on [ [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] ].…”

The serious consequences of explosions justify the efforts in prevention. The inherent danger of the phenomenon and the possibility of causing other concatenated accidents (domino effect) can increase the damage. To assess the damage and plan the emergency, it is necessary to determine the possible scope of dangerous magnitudes of the explosion (high pressure, mechanical impulse, and range of the fragments). It is important to consider that the peak overpressure of explosive detonation is relatively high and impulse width short near the source. Both parameters (overpressure and impulse) decrease with the distance but the decrease is not uniform, so that the ratio of contributions of overpressure and impulse to damage of receptors differ. In this work, the TNT equivalence method has been selected to determine the overpressure and impulse of the wave when detonation of high explosives occurs outdoors and the most recognized PROBIT functions to estimate the consequences of such accidents on humans. Combining both methodologies for each type of damage, graphical relationships of the primary parameters were obtained. Previously existing relationships have been parameterized to facilitate its implementation in software and to provide intuitive information to use it in studies of risk analysis of these accidents. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog 35: 233–240, 2016

In view of the frequent occurrence of major fires and explosions in the production, transportation, and storage of aromatic nitro compounds, the reactive thermal hazards of these compounds have attracted widespread attention in the chemical industry. Thermal hazard assessment is of great significance for the standardized storage of reactive chemicals. Based on adiabatic calorimetry and quantitative structureproperty relationship (QSPR) prediction, a thermal hazard assessment and classification method dominated by the molecular structure of nitro compounds were proposed. While obtaining thermodynamic parameters, stable configuration and molecular descriptors, the prediction models were constructed by multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN), respectively, including selfaccelerating decomposition temperature (SADT), maximum power density (MPD), and the apparent activation energy (E a ). On this basis, SADT, H 50 , and E a were selected as the possible characterization parameters of thermal risk of nitro compounds, while MPD and ΔT ad were selected as the characterization parameters of consequence severity. When combined with weight and reference TNT, this method comprehensively evaluated the thermal hazards of nitro compounds and divided them into four types of thermal hazard levels. By comparing the method with the previous classification standards, it is found that the evaluation method is expected to provide theoretical support for the safe standardized storage of nitro compounds in chemical enterprises.
