abstract="Expected release rates are derived for eight container classes that may be used in the transport of hazardous materials and waste. The expected released fractions during transport are potentially as large as the corresponding released fractions at disposal sites and treatment facilities. A review is also conducted of previous studies of the cost of hazardous waste transport. Several deficiencies are noted, particularly assumptions related to shipment characteristics and the lack of a comparison of actual rates charged by waste haulers. To overcome these deficiencies, new formulas are derived for estimating the cost of waste transport by tanker and stake (flatbed) truck. Cost estimates based on these formulas are subsequently compared with quoted industry rates. A conclusion is reached that the revised procedure is representative and can be used in policy analysis.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
