Abstract

Chemical disasters are sufficiently common that plans are needed to prevent them, or to mitigate their effects should they occur. However, they are sufficiently rare that any individual is likely to have little or no experience of them. This article reviews chemical disasters which have been reported in the medical literature, and briefly discusses plans for medical involvement in the prevention and tackling of such events.
