GES: Sensitive Destinations in Hazardous Substance Risk Contours

Place-based risk contours for hazardous substances have been translated into GES (Health Effect Screening) contours. The dataset shows sensitive destinations within these contours to identify bottlenecks and risks for new developments. It is provided by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a CC-PDM-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify land-use bottlenecks based on the overlap of sensitive destinations with risk contours.
• Assess development risks for new projects based on proximity to hazardous substance zones.
• Substantiate planning and policy choices with spatial risk insights derived from GES contours.

Strengths

• Data is derived from place-based risk contours for hazardous substances, providing a spatial foundation.
• Includes multiple file formats (JPEG, WFS, WMS) for different analysis and visualization needs.
• Published under a permissive public domain license (CC-PDM-1.0).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
