“…The installation conditions of the dike were applied as distance from the storage tank from 0 m (not installed) to a maximum of 2.5 m. Operating temperature conditions from 0 °C to 40 °C were applied. Because the boiling point of 50% HF is 20 °C (Yoon, Park et al ), the temperatures studied flanked 20 °C. The HF aqueous solution is used at 0 °C or higher to prevent freezing (Yoon et al ).…”

“…In 2012, an HF leak accident in Gumi, South Korea, caused 5 deaths, injuries to 18 people, health problems, and crop damage in nearby areas (Lee ). In 2013, an HF leak accident in Suwon, South Korea, caused 1 employee death and injuries to 4 people (Yoon, Cho et al ). These chemical leakage accidents have evoked caution regarding chemical accidents (Yoon et al ).…”

“…In 2013, South Korea amended the Chemical Substances Control Act in the Ministry of Environment to prevent and respond to chemical accidents, similar to the US program, and it was implemented in 2015. Reports of OCA were to be submitted under the revised law (Yoon, Ham et al ). In South Korea, OCA determines the risk level by analyzing the extent of impacts on the people or the environment outside the workplace because of chemical accidents that may occur during installation and operation of equipment (Lee et al ).…”

We investigated the characteristics and limitations in the event of hydrofluoric acid (HF) leakage by comparing and analyzing the offsite consequence analysis (OCA) tools based on the chemical plant operating conditions. We reviewed the tools Korea Offsite Risk Assessment (KORA) from South Korea and Risk Management Plan*Comp (RMP*Comp™) and Areal Location of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) from the United States. The scenario studied was based on a leak event from a 50% HF aqueous solution storage tank, and the operating conditions taken into consideration were the operating temperature and dike installation conditions. The results from the OCA differed; KORA presented a smaller range of offsite impact than did ALOHA. The offsite impact ranges of KORA and ALOHA increased as the operating temperature and dike installation area increased. However, RMP*Comp differed greatly in its offsite impact range results in the operating temperature range of 25 °C to 30 °C. Moreover, in the alternative scenario, a limitation existed in that the offsite impact range was not changed by the dike installation conditions. The offsite impact range analyzed via KORA and ALOHA reflected the reality of an HF leak accident better than that analyzed via RMP*Comp. Therefore, it is more reasonable to use KORA and ALOHA instead of RMP*Comp in OCA. Moreover, users should realize that ALOHA has a somewhat wider range of offsite impact than KORA does in OCA. The separation distance from the storage tank when installing a dike is effective between 1 and 1.5 m in consideration of securing the minimum workspace for workers.

“…One recent report estimated that as many as 80000 to 120000 chemicals are currently in use worldwide, with an additional 2000 chemicals newly introduced each year [ 1 , 2 ]. In Korea, approximately 44000 chemicals are known to be in use and about 300 new chemicals are newly marketed annually [ 3 ]. Accordingly, exposure to humans and the environment is unavoidable, which can be accompanied by adverse effects to human health and/or the environment.…”

ObjectivesKorea’s Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals (K-REACH) was enacted for the protection of human health and the environment in 2015. Considering that about 2000 new substances are introduced annually across the globe, the extent of animal testing requirement could be overwhelming unless regulators and companies work proactively to institute and enforce global best practices to replace, reduce or refine animal use. In this review, the way to reduce the animal use for K-REACH is discussed.MethodsBackground of the enforcement of the K-REACH and its details was reviewed along with the papers and regulatory documents regarding the limitation of animal experiments and its alternatives in order to discuss the regulatory adoption of alternative tests.ResultsDepending on the tonnage of the chemical used, the data required ranges from acute and other short-term studies for a single exposure route to testing via multiple exposure routes and costly, longer-term studies such as a full two-generation reproducibility toxicity. The European Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals regulation provides for mandatory sharing of vertebrate test data to avoid unnecessary duplication of animal use and test costs, and obligation to revise data requirements and test guidelines “as soon as possible” after relevant, validated replacement, reduction or refinement (3R) methods become available. Furthermore, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development actively accepts alternative animal tests and 3R to chemical toxicity tests.ConclusionsAlternative tests which are more ethical and efficient than animal experiments should be widely used to assess the toxicity of chemicals for K-REACH registration. The relevant regulatory agencies will have to make efforts to actively adopt and uptake new alternative tests and 3R to K-REACH.
