Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for predicting the dispersion of hazardous and noxious substances and, more specifically, provides an apparatus and a method for predicting the dispersion of hazardous and noxious substances, the method: checking the components of the hazardous and noxious substances having leaked into the ocean, so as to classify the hazardous and noxious substances into a corresponding classification set among twelve classification sets by means of at least one of vapor pressure, the degradation in water, or density; dividing the classification sets, in which the hazardous and noxious substances are classified, into one dispersion model among an air dispersion model, a seawater dispersion model, and an air/seawater dispersion model according to the dispersion characteristics thereof; acquiring, from a weather center server, the state information of a sea area, which is set to be different according to the divided dispersion models; and predicting a danger radius for the dispersion of the hazardous and noxious substances by using the acquired state information of the sea area, and outputting the same.
