Romanian economy is based, to a certain extent, on chemical industry and its approximately 300 SEVESO operators present on its territory. This situation implies numerous transports of raw materials or final products between operators in the chemical industry and/or other economic entities. A considerable number of cargos may consist in actual shipments of hazardous materials (HAZMAT), fact that can lead to an important issue: in Romania, a developing country, the current road transport infrastructure for dangerous substances might not be well optimized to meet basic safety requirements. Considering a growing traffic volume for both people and goods, the probability for an accident involving hazardous or non-hazardous materials to occur is increasing, leading to possible disruption in the usual traffic activity along with significant and human losses. This study is focused on highlighting the hazards related to ammonia road transportation as well as modelling the possible effects of a transport accident, in order to conduct a comparative exposure analysis on two different routes. In this study, two road sectors were analyzed: first road sector is part of the European road E81(between Talmaciu and Ramnicu-Valcea) and the second sector is part of the A1 Highway (which is planned to connect Sibiu and Pite?ti). The relevance of a comparative exposure analysis on the two sectors lies on the fact that it can provide useful information to the decision-makers regarding the optimal routes for HAZMAT transport in the area.
