heal.abstract	Storage and handling of dangerous chemicals in plants adjacent to populated areas pose major threats against public health and safety. At Ikonio harbour, the main goods depot of Piraeus harbour and one of the biggest commercial ports in Greece, huge quantities of chemicals among other goods are unloaded and stored in marshalling yards and warehouses very close to an inhabited zone of the region. In this task, several accidental scenarios based on real data are presented and the effects on the residential area are quantitatively estimated. The results show that an eventual accident will extensively damage the surroundings, even causing significant fatalities in the affected population.	en
