“…An example of such cooperation is the imposed requirement of the International Olympic Committee to the organizer of the Olympic Games, who is responsible for the construction of Olympic facilities. Discussions about the environmental safety concept are going on even today, as evidenced by the selection of the articles published in the Yearbook of International Environmental Law (Humle, 2009;Wouters et al, 2009;Scholtz, 2009;Voigt, 2009). …”

This article introduces and defines the concept and criteria of the "zone of high environmental hazard" towards application of this legal category in legislation and law enforcement. Author reveals the peculiarities of intersectoral legal regulation of the relations when using the objects of high environmental hazard in public circulation, as well as considers the approaches of Russian and foreign law enforcement to protect the interests of citizens and society as a whole against the negative effects of high-risk facilities to the environment. The priority of the public interest with respect to the environmental component of the state's functions and measures to implement the protection of the civil rights and legitimate interests are formalized.

“…Globally, we are beginning to rethink safety and security in biophysical terms, which poses a challenge for criminology as an area of enquiry whose fundamental topic has been safety and security (Shearing, 2015). Recognising that security itself is an idea that arguably cannot be constrained into a single discipline (Zedner, 2009: 10;Ngoc Cao and Wyatt, 2016: 415), the joining of environment and security (once common only in international relations' geopolitical focus on environmental impacts upon states, see Chalecki, 2013: 4;Brauch, 2008: 31), has come to included broader understandings, such as legal scholar Hulme's (2009: 25) explanation of the term as capturing 'the environment's ability to impact on human security and man's ability to impact on the stability and viability of the biosphere.…”

Tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today. African ProverbThis book arises at a time when our skies are dark, and are becoming darker.There is now irrefutable evidence that the temperate era of the last 12, 000 years, the Holocene era, is drawing to a close. We are moving towards a series of tipping points that could well bring an end to the nurturing 'ecological assemblages' (Trisos, Merow andPigot, 2020) andSchumacher's (1973) 'natural capital', which provided humans and many other species with the provision of essential 'ecosystem services ' (Farber et al., 2002). During this now vanishing era the earth has been characterised by what Rockström et al. (2009: 1) have termed 'planetary boundaries' that provide a 'safe operating space for humanity'.The warning that these dark clouds carry with them is that we humans have been, especially since we have begun living in industrial societies, systematically destroying the very basis of our existence -an engagement that Brisman and South (2018) compare with self-cannibalism, autosarcophagy. This autosarcophagy has been, and remains, the consequence of carbon intensive economies --ways of being, built on fire and the heat it produces (Hartmann, 1999).Hidden in these dark clouds is the spectre of collapse (Diamond, 2005), a collapse that, as Umair Haque (2019) has recently argued, emerges from the bottom up. This is a collapse of the biospheric foundations (see also Smil, 2002), upon which CrimRxiv Dark Clouds: Regulatory Possibilities 3 humans, as biophysical and social creatures, depend for their existence and upon which they have built their worlds. Yet, despite this complete dependence on these foundations, humans have collectively paid very little, if any, attention to them.The consequences in this 'age of collapse ', according to Hague (2019), is that 'the bottom [is] depleted, which causes the middle to implode, which takes the top away with it, too'. Back in 2017, as we began planning this volume, we settled on the term 'harmscapes' to conceptualise the evolution of arrays of intersecting and interacting harms. Climate change is a primary exemplar (Berg and Shearing, 2018: 75): a globally coherent phenomenon that creates myriad diverse harms, manifesting in multiple and connected ways. Climate change harms play out at multiple spatial and temporal scales: spatially, harms range from localised to global scales, and temporally, some harms are immediate, others are delayed, and others again are, from any meaningful human perspective, effectively permanent.Climate change is a change process characterised by nonlinear dynamics and threshold effects: as such, impacts can cascade across sectors, and with limited predictability (Duit and Galaz, 2008). The impacts of climate change are dispersed, but uneven. And as with impacts, attribution of climate change,

“…Na verdade, essas ameaças à segurança ambiental sempre estiveram presentes, embora o seu reconhecimento dentro de uma agenda ampliada de segurança manifesta em uma nova era de diálogo e ação constituía um marco a ser considerado. 16 Interessa, com base no exposto acima, o ambiente artificial a ser estudado, por ser o construído, alterado ou influenciado pelo ser humano. O ambiente artificial é aquele constituído pelos edifícios urbanos, que são os espaços públicos fechados, e pelos equipamentos comunitários, que são os espaços públicos abertos, como as ruas, as praças e as áreas verdes.…”

Numerical simulations provided by fluid dynamic studies have been widely used as effective tools to determine the physical behavior of flows in different situations and geometries. The dispersion of hazardous chemicals gases constitutes one of these branches. In this work, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), combined with dose-response probit functions, is used as a tool for evaluation of environmental risk analysis. The main objective pursued is the integration among the various fields that are responsible for preparing the preliminary design environment and the protective or corrective measures. Given the importance of the proposed approach, coupled with the realization of major world events in Brazil such as 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, the fact that the country is not immune to the actions of terrorist groups, the present study shows the importance of the integration proposed for minimization of harmful effects in case of occurrence of undesirable events.Keywords: OPCW; CFD; Multiphase; emergency response; Chemical Weapons. ResumoAs simulações numéricas relacionadas ao estudo da dinâmica dos fluidos são amplamente utilizadas como uma maneira eficaz para determinar o comportamento físico dos escoamentos nas mais diversas situações e geometrias consideradas. A dispersão de gases de produtos químicos perigosos no ambiente é um dos ramos desses estudos. Dentro deste contexto emprega-se neste trabalho, a fluidodinâmica computacional (CFD), aliada às funções de dose-resposta tipo probit, como ferramenta para análise de risco ambiental, com o objetivo de auxiliar a integração entre os diversos ramos responsáveis pela elaboração prévia do projeto do ambiente e das medidas protetivas ou corretivas em casos de estudos de situações de emergência. Considerando a importância da abordagem proposta e a inserção do Brasil nos quadros de realização de grandes eventos mundiais, como a Copa do Mundo de 2014 e a Olimpíada de 2016, em que o País não estará imune à ações eventuais de grupos terroristas, mostra-se a importância da integração proposta para minimização dos efeitos danosos sobre as pessoas no caso da ocorrência de eventos indesejados.Palavras-chave: CFD multifásico; resposta a emergências; armas químicas.
