The aim of this work is to study the safety and environmental problems associated with the industrial activity in the area of Gela. In order to evaluate the risk connected with sea and land transportation of hazardous materials and to chemical processes in the industrial area of Gela the methodology of Quantified Area Risk Analysis has been applied. The census data shows that the major contribution to the risk is due to the sea and land transport of ammonia. The impact of ammonia dispersion can involve highly populated areas of the city of Gela and this paper aims to find suggestions to manage the risk connected with ammonia transport. Results obtained in this study have suggested measures to improve the safety and reduce the environmental risk of the area and represent the basis on which decision makers can establish criteria for risk management, risk control and land-use planning.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the safety and environmental problems associated with the industrial activity in the area of Gela. In order to evaluate the risk connected with sea and land transportation of hazardous materials and to chemical processes in the industrial area of Gela the methodology of Quantified Area Risk Analysis has been applied. The census data shows that the major contribution to the risk is due to the sea and land transport of ammonia. The impact of ammonia dispersion can involve highly populated areas of the city of Gela and this paper aims to find suggestions to manage the risk connected with ammonia transport. Results obtained in this study have suggested measures to improve the safety and reduce the environmental risk of the area and represent the basis on which decision makers can establish criteria for risk management, risk control and land-use planning.Pubblicazioni consigliate
