Abstract
Semi-quantitative risk assessment method was used for tentative evaluation of hazardous chemical waste incinerator. Data was collected using questionnaire involving five items as identification of installments, question regarding the technology, quality and quantity of hazardous substances, as well as environmental data. Site index was calculated from the information of technology and organisation. Dangerous substance index was calculated on the basis of hazardous properties and the quantity of chemicals stored or used on the facility. In the case of a chemical accident environmental components like distance to surface waters, sensitivity and vulnerability, permeability of soil number of public institutions, people living in the surroundings and economic factor were considered.
