摘要

The objective of the present work is to obtain a dollar value as a measure of the relative economic impact of spills of various hazardous substances at various sites along the coasts of the contiguous United States of America. The three hazardous substances studied were 2,4-D N-oleyl 1,3-propylenediamine salt, chlorobenzene and hydrogen peroside. The model use was the NRDAM/CME of the U.S.Departement of Interior. The test spills used were 10,000 gallons.
