Table 14b. Hazardous Material Shipment Characteristics for Toxic by Inhalation (TIH): Percent of Total for 2007 and 2002
Estimates are based on data from the 2007 and 2002 Commodity Flow Surveys. Because of rounding, estimates may not be additive.
| Description | Value (percent) | Tons (percent) | Ton-miles (percent) 1 | Value Standard Error of % | Tons Standard Error of % | Ton-miles Standard Error of % | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | 2002 | 2007 | 2002 | 2007 | 2002 | 2007 | 2002 | 2007 | 2002 | 2007 | 2002 | |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Toxic by Inhalation | 0.9 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.2 | 3.1 | 2.0 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.5 | 0.2 |
KEY: - = Zero or Less than half the unit shown; thus, it has been rounded to zero.
1 Ton-miles estimates are based on estimated distances traveled along a modeled transportation network.
NOTES: Toxic by inhalation (TIH) gases and volatile liquids that are toxic when inhaled. Value-of-shipment estimates are reported in current prices.
