In order to protect the environment against pollution by hazardous materials in the course of a shipping accident, such materials have to be conditioned in waste packages. For this purpose, the hazardous materials are either packed into a high-quality container or immobilized within a matrix. The calculation of the accidental release of hazardous materials is an essential factor in the assessment of transportation hazards. The release processes depend on the forces acting on the cargo and on the physical properties of the packages and of the product itself. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the influence of the properties of the product on the release of hazardous materials. This aspect is discussed with respect to the accidental release from hazardous wastes that are immobilized (for example, cemented wastes) and from those wastes that are not immobilized.
