Decontamination measures in selected external emergency plans for release of hazardous substances in the Pardubice region.

The subject of this dissertation is decontamination measures in the selected external emergency plans with the leakage of hazardous substances in the Pardubice region. This issue is topical because the industrial production with hazardous substances is constantly growing and expanding. This increases the probability of leakage of these hazardous substances and the risk of a negative impact on human health and environmental damage. The aim of the work was to analyze and evaluate the decontamination measures taken in external emergency plans with leakage of hazardous substances in the Pardubice region and to assess the emergency preparedness of selected companies in terms of decontamination in external emergency plans with leakage of hazardous substances in the Pardubice region. The data obtained from the research were analyzed and compared with each other according to the set criteria. Based on the results, additional procedures and information were proposed that the external emergency plan, in the section on decontamination, should contain and include. The research was carried out using the method of calculating the "preparedness index", which determines the completeness and complexity of information in decontamination measures in selected external emergency plans with the release of hazardous substances in the Pardubice Region. It was found that decontamination measures contain incomplete information, often only theoretical and therefore unusable for decontamination measures in case of leakage of hazardous substances in practice. The dissertation can serve the Regional Office of the Pardubice Region, which can use the topics contained in this work to complete the decontamination measures in the external emergency plan
