In the article was presented the effect of meteorological conditions and aerodynamic roughness of the substrate on the dispersion of dangerous, highly toxic substance - chlorine. Simulations were carried out in the ALOHA program, assuming that as a result of an emergency, 10 tons of liquid chlorine from the tanker carrying it were leaked. It was assumed that the leakage time was one hour. The obtained results were placed on the map taking into account the assumed location: road E463 in Pszczyna. The degree of hazard are analyzed depending on the direction and speed of the wind. Additional simulations were performed taking other leakage points and other aerodynamic roughness.
