| Resumen |
This study examines the best mode of transportation for the movement of hazardous substances. Its objective was to analyse quantitatively the economic and safety aspects of such transportation by inland waterway and overland (pipeline, rail and highway) modes so that the comparative costs and risks of the different modes could be assessed. The chemicals studied as examples are acrylonitrile, anhydrous ammonia, benzene, caustic soda, chlorine, ethylene glycol, methanol, styrene, sugar, and sulfuric acid. Much of the information is presented in tabular form. |
