Abstract
A new risk assessment tool has been developed in the CATO
project (EU FP7: 'A comprehensive holistic answer centred
on an integrated CBRN toolbox'). This tool tackles one of
the key differences
between a malicious act and an industrial accident: the
unknown identity of the chemical released. The tool
allows an unknown chemical agent used in a chemical
terrorist attack to be categorised based on a limited
amount of data. This paper describes the rationale behind
the new risk analysis tool and briefly discusses the
content given for various chemical groups and how it has
been tailored to meet the needs of five user groups: the
policy-makers, the incident coordinators, the health care
personnel, the responders, and the population. The
development work has been carried out by VTT Technical
Research Centre of Finland in cooperation with the Danish
Emergency Management Agency (DEMA).
