摘要：

We describe a collaborative effort between the U. S., India, and Poland to track acute chemical releases during 2005-2007. In all three countries, fixed facility events were more common than transportation-related events; manufacturing and transportation/warehousing were the most frequently involved industries; and equipment failure and human error were the primary contributing factors. The most commonly released non-petroleum substances were ammonia ( India), carbon monoxide ( U. S.) and mercury ( Poland). More events in India (54%) resulted in victims compared with Poland (15%) and the U. S. (9%). The pilot program showed it is possible to successfully conduct international surveillance of acute hazardous substances releases with careful interpretation of the findings.
