| Abstract | This study has examined the risk of spills of hazardous substances from transport containers which are unmarked. Three circumstances could lead to incidents where a reportable quantity of a hazardous substance spills from unmarked containers. First, the incident could involve multiple spi lls from packages too small to require marking. Second, the incident could involve a very large spill of a mixture or solution which was too dilute to require marking. Finally, the transport container could be unmarked because it was not in compliance with Federal Regulations. The study findings in each of these circumstances are summarized below. |
