3. Loss of containment and atmospheric dispersion
3.1 Loss of containment
3.1.1 Description of the phenomenon
A loss of containment of a flammable liquid leads to the liquid being released into the atmosphere, with the possible formation of vapors depending on the properties of the liquid and the type of loss of containment. This release can give rise to fire and explosion phenomena if sufficient vapors are released into the atmosphere.
