The necessity of confronting current incidents of the world has intensified the issue of safety observation and preparedness in critical conditions for societies. These incidents, which have been mostly related to industrial incidents, have been accompanied by serious environmental damages and many financial and life losses. Risk assessment includes management system to observe necessary requirements in order to reduce irreversible hazards. The desired option for risk assessment is based on economic analyses in most of the cases and any economic analysis requires optimization of financial resources. The goal of this study was to model and assess the risk resulting from the emission of chlorine gas in water treatment plants in order to protect environment and population against storage of this toxic substance. To model this process, Jalalieh Water Treatment Plant located between Fatemi Square and Fatemi Crossroad, which is one of the high density areas of city of Tehran, was studied.
