Abstract: Environmental risk (ER) fact ore come from ER source and they are
controlled by the primary control mechanism (PCM) of environmental risk, due to
the self failures or the effects of external environment risk trigger
mechanism, the PCM could not work regularly any more, then, the ER factore will
release environmental space, and an ER field is formed up. The forming of ER
field does not mean that any environmental pollution accident (EPA) will break
out; only the ER receptore are exposed in the ER field and damaged
seriously, the potential ER really turns into an actual EPA. Researching on the
general laws of evolving from environmental risk to EPA, this paper bring
forwards a relevant concept model of risk forecasting and evaluating of EPA.
This model provides some scientific methods for risk evaluation, prevention and
emergency response of EPA. This model not only enriches and develops the theory
system of environment safety and emergency response, but also acts as an
instruction for public safety, enterprise's safety management and emergency
response of the accident.
Keywords: environmental risk (ER), environmental pollution accident (EPA), ER evaluation, ER field, EPA damage field
