Bow Ties in Process Safety and Environmental Management: Current Trends and Future Perspectives aims to combine the process safety aspects and the potential dangers to the ecology including the source of the contamination, and especially, the unbalanced utilization of toxic chemicals in process industries. It also covers a broad spectrum of industrial process safety, environmental pollution factors, dangers to land, water, air and living species, remediation technologies (traditional and futuristic approaches), pollutant degradation through numerical modelling, and physicochemical characteristics of the chemicals and their thermal analysis. It also provides the mandated safety data sheets already available and suggestions for the improvement of industrial specifications.

• Discusses detailed aspects of process safety and environmental impact from a theoretical and practical perspective
• Covers detailed procedures of environmental modeling concepts
• Explores forensic investigation sequences during the incident
• Proposes futuristic approaches towards risk assessment and management
• Includes real-time case studies with complexities and solutions

This book is written for researchers, graduate students, and professionals involved in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and process safety engineering.
