Hazardous substances transport

GEOSPHERE TRANSPORT (HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE TRANSPORT THROUGH THE GEOSPHERE)... [Pg.93]

Under CERCLA and similar state hazardous waste laws, liability for contamination at a site is strict, joint and several, as well as retroactive. Anyone who was ever involved with the site—generators of hazardous substances, transporters of materials to or from the site, and any past or present owner—can all be held liable for the costs of cleanup. A fear of perpetual liability kept many private buyers, developers, lenders, and potential future owners of contaminated properties from investing in brownfields sites. [Pg.336]

From the economic point of view, hazardous substances transportation is a subject of business like any other. However, in comparison with other areas of business, its impacts may be much higher and more serious. In spite of this fact, the risk assessment in the area of hazardous substances road transportation is not required by legislation within the EU. This obligation is only set for stationary sources (Directive 2012). [Pg.1671]

The outcomes of the study show (Guidelines, 2005a) that the accident frequency occurring on roads and railways during hazardous substances transportation has been increasing. At the same time, the outcomes show that more than a half of... [Pg.1671]

Methods of risk assessment of hazardous substances transportation... [Pg.1672]

Risk assessment of hazardous substances transportation may be realized by means of various methods based on qualitative assessment (estimating merely the consequences of accidents) as well as complicated quantitative methods (which, apart from estimating consequences of accidents, determine probability of accident occurrence). [Pg.1672]

On the other hand, public administration authorities preferences are based on socioenvi-ronmental aspect. The authorities primarily try to ensure maximum safety of population and environment during hazardous substances transportation, considering economic and technological possibilities of the carrier. There are secondary preferences like transport infrastructure security or ensuring transport smoothness. [Pg.1673]

Occurrence of densely populated areas (Vpgp)— with growing density of populated areas on the hazardous substances transport route there is a potential growth of population vulnerability. [Pg.1673]

Simplified environmental fate estimation procedures are based on the predominant mechanisms of transport within each medium, and they generally disregard intermedia transfer or transformation processes. In general, they produce conservative estimates (i.e., reasonable upper bounds) for final ambient concentrations and the extent of hazardous substance migration. However, caution should be taken to avoid using inappropriate analytical methods that underestimate or overlook significant pathways that affect human health. [Pg.230]

CLASS B POISON (usa) Any substance known to be so toxic that it poses a severe health hazard during transportation. [Pg.12]
