Seveso is a small town 20 km from Milan in northwest Italy.

A white gas cloud spread to the environment as a result of an explosion in a reactor producing trichlorophenol (TCP) on July 10, 1976 at the ICMESA Chemical Company factory right next to the city.

This toxic gas is dioxin, one of the most toxic gases known to this day.

In a short time, animal deaths began to occur in the town, and five days after the explosion, admissions to the hospital began.

As a result of the controls, it was understood that a large area of the town was completely contaminated and about 100 houses were completely evacuated.

The effects of this environmental disaster lasted for many years and led the authorities to take measures to prevent and reduce the effects of major industrial accidents.

Seveso Directive (82/501 / EEC), which was prepared to prevent the occurrence of industrial accidents and to take necessary precautions, was adopted after this accident that took place in the town of Seveso in Italy in 1976.

On December 9, 1996, the “Directive on the Control of Major Accident Risks Including Dangerous Goods (Seveso-II Directive)” numbered 96/82 / EC was published. The “Regulation on the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents and Reducing their Effects”, which harmonizes the Seveso-II Directive with the legislation of our country, was prepared by a commission formed by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and entered into force by being published in the Official Gazette.

Major Industrial Accident refers to a major emission, fire or explosion incident caused by one or more hazardous substances that can cause serious danger to the environment and human health immediately or later, during the operation of any organization, resulting from uncontrolled developments.

The Seveso Declaration System, which is included in the Environmental Information System, which is the software portal of our Ministry, is the system in which the organizations that have Dangerous Chemicals in the Annex of the Regulation on the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents and Reducing their Impacts declare their substances and their amounts to the Ministry. This statement, which must be made by the enterprises as per the regulation, is called the Seveso Notification. After the Seveso Notification, enterprises are classified as “Lower Tier Establishment”, “Upper Tier Establishment” or “Out of Scope” by the system. Seveso Notification System can be accessed at online.cevre.gov.tr.
