摘要

Normally, the main end point of risk assessment for a plant is a risk map. It serves to establish the exclusion zone for territories with an unacceptable hazard. The map is pointwise, but the decision on the acceptability of the hazard is not: it involves the entire situation "plant + surrounding territory". The transition from pointwise values to a decision aggregated over territory poses no problem for constant pollution sources, but, in our opinion, it does for acute risk from intermittent sources. There is an additional degree of freedom related to randomness of intermittent emissions, so that the usual definition of acute individual risk based on the yearly maxima of hourly pollutant concentrations seems incomplete. Decisions on acceptability of risk depend on how we combine the aggregation in time of random emissions and the aggregation in space of exposed territories. Acceptability is usually defined from the worst point on a risk map: we first seek to identify the maximum risk in time for each point, and then maximize it over territory. In this approach, rare emissions may present no hazard because each point, considered individually, would have a low chance of being hit by an emission. However, if, alternatively, we first look at the entire spatial risk pattern around the plant at the moments of emission, the chance that it contains some inadmissible points would be much higher. This expresses a mathematical feet: maxima in time and space, being nonlinear functions, do not commute, and we have to decide what to do first. No first principle compels us to proceed this or that way, so both are, in principle, acceptable, but they can give dissimilar results.
