Innovative techniques for the storage and transportation of hazardous materials

Abstract

The ADR is an international agreement that regulates the controlled and safe transportation of hazardous materials, which is crucial for protecting human health and the environment. In our research, as a second-year logistics engineering student and advisor, we analyze modern approaches to the storage and transportation of hazardous materials. We present the historical background of hazardous materials, various transportation and storage methods, and their labeling systems, such as CLP pictograms and ADR markings. We also discuss storage techniques, legal implications, and provide examples to illustrate their importance based on everyday hazardous materials. The transportation of hazardous materials significantly impacts multiple industries; therefore, we propose suggestions to improve the efficiency of transportation processes through the use of new packaging for transportation and storage.
