Models are necessary in risk analysis studies (e.g. for land-use planning) and for calculating the consequences of a release of material. This paper presents models for calculating the consequences of fires, explosions and releases of toxic gases to people and constructions/buildings. These models are taken from the TNO consequence calculation handbook developed for the Dutch Ministry of Housing and Environment (DMHE),in which more models are given.
