Dezful is the capital of Dezful County, a city in Khuzestan Province, Iran. On August 12, 2017, after a chlorine gas leakage in Dezful, more than 475 people were affected by chlorine gas, and they all suffered from respiratory complications. A lot of problems were encountered in the preparation of the relief forces and organization of the blueprint on how to respond to the incident, such as lack of knowledge on establishment of danger zone, lack of warning system, lack of proper triage and absence of decontamination plans, lack of special chemical safety outfit and respiratory equipment for rescuers, lack of instructions for proper handling, lack of knowledge in dealing with this type of disaster, and inappropriate evacuation skills and failure to cordon off and insure the location of the incident. Although the initial measures to arrest this crisis was performed based on the health system's instructions of the country with regard to all the possible risks, lack of a comprehensive inter-organizational program and prevention plans, lack of control plans, lack of adequate preparation and response to chemical poisoning, lack of foresight, lack of a risk plan, and lack of an intervention plan for these incidents were the reasons for the damages and problems encountered after the crisis.
德黑兰是伊朗胡齐斯坦省德黑兰市的首府。2017 年 8 月 12 日，在德黑兰发生氯气泄漏事件后，超过 475 人受到氯气影响，他们都患有呼吸道并发症。在救援力量的准备和应对事件的蓝图组织方面遇到了很多问题，例如缺乏建立危险区域的知识、缺乏警告系统、缺乏适当的分类和没有净化计划、缺乏特殊的化学安全装备和救援人员的呼吸设备、缺乏适当处理的说明、缺乏处理此类灾害的知识、以及不当的疏散技能和未能封锁和确保事件地点的安全。尽管最初采取了措施来阻止这场危机，但这是根据该国卫生系统针对所有可能风险的指示进行的，缺乏全面的组织间计划和预防计划、控制计划、对化学中毒的充分准备和应对、缺乏远见、缺乏风险计划以及缺乏对这些事件的干预计划，这是危机后出现的损害和问题的原因。
