Yang, Liu (author), Ma, Yunjian (author), Chen, Yebao (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Wang, Yonghua (author)Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are widely used as plastic additives to increase the flexibility and durability of plastics. Constantly leaching out from plastics, PAEs are ubiquitously found in the environment. As PAEs exhibit biological activities such as being endocrine disruptive, the quest for efficient degradation strategies continues. Here...journal article 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)Vapor cloud explosion (VCE) accidents such as the Jaipur explosion in 2005 manifest that VCEs may lead to unpredicted overpressures, resulting in catastrophic domino effects. Many attempts have been made to assess VCEs and the subsequent domino effects in the process and chemical industry, whereas little attention has been paid to the spatial...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)In a coupled domino effect, hazardous scenarios such as toxic release, VCE, and fire can simultaneously or sequentially occur. Chapters 2 and 3 only consider domino effects that are caused by fire or VCE. Therefore, this study develops a dynamic method called “Dynamic Graph Monte Carlo” (DGMC) to model the evolution of coupled domino effects and...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Yang, M. (author)Fires are the most common scenarios in domino effect accidents, responsible for most of the domino effects that occurred in the process and chemical industry. The escalation induced by fire is delayed since the build-up of heat radiation needs time. As a result, a fire-induced domino effect is a spatial–temporal evolution process of fires. To...book chapter 2022
