The investigation and analysis of LPG spill mechanism are made and cargo spill models, source strength released from LPG vapor in land and at sea are probed too. According to the facts of spill condition, systematic analysis is made on the suitable dispersion models which are applied to different spill and environment conditions, and source strength calculation models of multiple spilled resource and environment are analyzed as well, so as to put forward a comprehensive and systematic primary solution for vapor dispersion simulation of LPG. For the sake of convenient application, a computer software for risk assessment of LPG carrier is developed which can provide great assistance to the decision-making of emergency response and reach the target of reducing the damage of the life, property and environment to the smallest degree.

“…One example of a cross-disciplinary, multi-layer answer to the September 11th event has involved the Department of Defense's U.S. Army Centre for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine's assessment of environmental health threats to continental U.S. military installations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the American Industrial Hygiene Association have collaborated in using geographic referenced data (e.g., satellite imagery and population distribution), emergency response planning, and other assessment data sources to determine terroristic threat to continental United States military installations [28].…”

Eco-epidemiology is a promising model for cross-disciplinary anti-terrorism. Derived from epidemiology's dominance of agents to illness and injury, the eco-epidemiological paradigm considers natural systems that generate causal pathways to disease and dynamic morbidity. Within this model is a hierarchy of systems interconnecting at biological, human, and social levels. Eco-epidemiology capitalizes on interacting components within and between system levels to identify contact patterns and apply mechanisms of control. Considering the complex and paradoxical nature of the threat-fear dynamic, a systematic, ecological approach would be more adaptive to terrorism's changing rules of engagement. To counter terrorism and nullify threat-fear, eco-epidemiology must be shared by public health researchers with threat assessment and harm reduction disciplines.
