The transport of hazardous materials by all modes is a major concern of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Estimates place the total amount of hazardous materials transported in the United States in excess of 1.5 billion tons per year. Highway, water, and rail account for nearly all hazardous materials shipments; air shipments are negligible. Fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, account for about half of all hazardous materials transported. Chemicals account for most of the remainder. This report presents estimates of truck shipments of dodecene-1, one of the 147 large-volume chemicals (non-fuel) that account for at least 80 percent of U.S. truck shipments of hazardous chemicals.
