The PPRT dataset contains French Technological Risk Prevention Plans (PPRTs) drawn up by the State. These plans are intended to facilitate the control of urbanisation around high-risk industrial sites (SEVESO high threshold) and minimise the effects of potential accidents. The data was last updated on 2019-04-04 and is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.
Use Cases
- Mapping areas of exposure to technological risks based on the defined risk zones.
- Analyzing urban development constraints around high-risk industrial sites based on the plan's stipulations.
- Assessing potential public health and environmental impacts of industrial accidents based on the described risk scenarios.
Strengths
- Plans are drawn up by the State, suggesting an authoritative source.
- Last update date of 2019-04-04 is explicitly provided.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
