SETS OF RAILWAY WAGONS WITH DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES IN STATIONS AS A SOURCE OF RISK OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
Abstract
Protecting the environment is a top priority today. The aim of the paper is to present the possible environmental risks arising from the rail transport of hazardous substances. During transport, new risks of leakage of hazardous substances and environmental contamination from railway tanks arise during their decommissioning at railway stations. These risks can be a significant source of environmental contaminants and there is no methodology to prevent possible impacts. The current situation in Europe has seen some changes in the incidence and composition of risks. There is a new risk of terrorist attacks that are aimed at easily achievable targets. In the area of risk management, it is necessary to revise the current approach and create a methodology for the prevention of risks of major accidents and subsequent environmental contamination. Part of the paper is an explanation of the risk of decommissioned trains with hazardous substances, a search of this issue in selected European countries, a comparison of conditions of mobile and stationary sources of risk and a proposal for a set of measures to prevent major accidents from this source.
