Abstract:This project examined the “safety and security externalities” which exists in the
transportation of hazardous materials (particularly Toxic Inhalant Hazards) and
identified alterative mitigation strategies. The combination of terrorist attacks, natural
disasters, and human error has brought increased attention to the vulnerability of our
infrastructure and population resulting from the transportation of hazardous materials,
especially through cities. The primary objectives of this study were to identify risks
associated with transporting toxic inhalant hazards (TIH) and propose approaches to
mitigate the negative safety and security externalities created by hazardous materials
transportation.
