1. Chlorine Gas Spill Example

The following example illustrates the decision-making criteria and process used in a theoretical deliberate chlorine release in the United States. Using information gleaned from a chlorine release, this example demonstrates specific interagency activities and associated decision criteria that could plausibly be used in the event of an actual deliberate chlorine release. The summary of the incident is presented below followed by Table B-2, which contains scenario-specific details from the chlorine example for each of the response phases. Refer to Appendix A for more details on exposure guidelines included with this scenario.
