Abstract
Recent legislation in the United States has created a need for comprehensive assessment of the off-site consequences that may occur from potential accidental releases of toxic vapours. This paper provides a brief summary of public domain models which are available for this purpose. Models selected by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD) for use in the regulatory process are identified.
