Mass casualties due to chemicals and chemical weapons are typical man-made disasters. As they occur without connection to time, place, and occasion, an adequate crisis control system is needed. Although the possibility that chemical weapons will be used in terrorism, as in Matsumoto and the Tokyo sarin attack, has recently increased, mass casualities due to the combustion and leakage of toxic chemicals in the chemical industry and traffic accidents during the transport of chemicals are more likely since about 5000 new chemical substances are synthesized every year.
化学品及化学武器造成的大规模伤亡是典型的人为灾难。由于此类灾难的发生与时间、地点和场合无关，因此需要一个完善的危机控制系统。尽管近年来，诸如松本和东京沙林袭击事件那样，化学武器被用于恐怖主义的可能性有所增加，但由于每年大约有5000种新化学物质被合成，化学工业中有毒化学品的燃烧和泄漏以及化学品运输过程中的交通事故导致的大规模伤亡更为常见。
