- Abstract
- The movement of dangerous goods through transportation channels has been the object of concern by private industries and governmental representatives for almost a century. Their movement creates risks, over which private and public control efforts have been exercised in various ways. A major control effort has been the development of Federal regulations prescribing conditions under which these goods may be offered for transportaion and moved by the carrier.
