<strong>Chemical</strong> <strong>Agents</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Opportunity</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Terrorism</strong>:<br />

<strong>TICs</strong> & <strong>TIMs</strong><br />

Module One – Toxic Industrial Gases as Terrorist Threats<br />

50<br />

The importance <strong>of</strong> plant security, “hardening” <strong>of</strong> containment measures, and minimizing<br />

on-site storage <strong>of</strong> <strong>TICs</strong> is illustrated by this example <strong>of</strong> a chemical plant which<br />

maintained 500,000 lbs <strong>of</strong> Hydrogen Fluoride on-site (year 2004 -mean maximum<br />

amount on a daily basis).<br />

This Google map aerial photo identifies an industrial plant in Oakland, CA. This amount<br />

<strong>of</strong> HF is ~10 times the amount released in the Texas City accident.<br />
