Transportation, motor vehicle

Precautions to be taken in transportation Motor vehicles will be placarded regardless of quantity. Drivers will be given full information regarding shipment and conditions in case of an emergency. AR 50-6 deals specifically with the shipment of chemical agents. Shipment of agents will be escorted in accordance with AR 740-32. 

Large amounts of nitrosamines leak into the environment from the pharmaceutical and food industries, plastics industry, textile industry, waste transport (motor vehicles), industrial effluents (dyes, lubricants, mbber), and the production of solvents. Fuel manufacturing plants and oil refineries are also important emitters of nitrosamines, as well as landfills and fossil fuel combustion processes (to produce heat and power). These compounds naturally penetrate the environment through animal droppings. 

Winston Harrington is a Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future in the Quality of the Environment Division. He also is on the adjunct faculty at Georgetown University. Harrington s research interests include urban transportation, motor vehicles and air quality, and problems of estimating the costs of environmental policy. He received his M.A. in Mathematics from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The sources of NOx emissions are more widely distributed. About 44% comes from transportation (motor vehicles and, to a lesser extent, trains and planes). The remaining 56% of NOx emissions comes chiefly from the smokestacks of power plants and other industrial sources. A small percentage comes from homes and businesses. Although Congressional attention has focused on SO2 emissions — the major cause of acid rain — NOx contributes a significant and growing share of the acidity in rain.

Certain types of equipment are specifically excluded from the scope of the directive. It is self-evident that equipment which is already regulated at Union level with respect to the pressure risk by other directives had to be excluded. That is the case with simple pressure vessels, transportable pressure equipment, aerosols and motor vehicles. Other equipment, such as carbonated drink containers or radiators and piping for hot water systems are excluded from the scope because of the limited risk involved. Also excluded are products which are subject to a minor pressure risk which are covered by the directives on machinery, lifts, low voltage, medical devices, gas appliances and on explosive atmospheres. A further and last group of exclusions refers to equipment which presents a significant pressure risk, but for which neither the free circulation aspect nor the safety aspect necessitated their inclusion.

The potential of mass transit to provide transportation sendees with low energy consumption relies on the high capacity of transit vehicles, since these vehicles have higher energy consumption per vehicle distance traveled compared to private motorized vehicles or nonmotorized modes. Therefore the occupancy rate of transit service is a key factor in determining its energy efficiency. This rate can be measured by the ratio of person distance traveled to vehicle distance traveled.

Acid deposition has been known to exist since early in the industrial age. The principle pollutants responsible for the elevated levels of acidity are the oxidized forms of sulphur and nitrogen that have been emitted as by-products from non-ferrous smelters, fossil-fueled power generating stations, and motor vehicles. The pollutants are transported substantial distances from the source areas by the atmosphere. They are deposited on receptor regions remote from the sources as acidic rain, snow, and fog or as gasses and dry particulates. 

In 1900, there were only a few thousand motor vehicles in the United States and the public had a choice between steam, electric, or gasoline automobiles. A gasoline-based transportation system was not a foregone conclusion. The public had become used to horses and the image of sitting near a boiler, battery or gas tank and moving by a series of explosions, was not attractive.
