Hazardous Substance Release

A hazardous substance release occurs when a harmful chemical or material unintentionally escapes into the environment, such as into the air, water, or soil. This can happen due to accidents, leaks, or failures at industrial facilities, transportation, or storage sites. These releases can pose health and environmental risks, affecting nearby communities, wildlife, and ecosystems. Proper management, safety protocols, and emergency response plans are essential to prevent, contain, and minimize the impact of such releases to protect public health and the environment.
