SCIA: GIS-based software for assessing the impacts from chemical industrial accidents

This study is performed to develop a comprehensive software package entitled “simulation of chemical industrial accident (SCIA).” The SCIA can be integrated with geographical information system (GIS) to predict and display the risk and consequence of chemical hazards from two categories of hazardous...
