Abstract

Chlorine is a type of chemical substance that possessed a hazardous and toxic characteristic. It may affect the human health as well as other living organisms in case were directly in contact with the substance. The effect on human health shall be concern as it will leads to the badly damages the respiratory system.

Plant facilities that may containing the handling and storing a large amount of chlorine needs to be well design and also having an efficient of emergency response plan in case of the release of chlorine cannot be avoided. By having an emergency response plan will at least minimizing the risk of injuries and human exposed on chlorine. In this research, the passed accidental release of chlorine is studied to determine the impacts on environment and human upon released and also the root cause of the disaster also measured to avoid the same mistakes occur in the future.
