What about this :
<table summary="this table will show how many sensitive equipments are
within a distance range">
<caption>Distance to the Nearest Sensitive Environment</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th id="dist">Distance (feet)</th>
<th id="val">Number of sensitive envs</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
(... here a loop on your query results...)
<tr>
<td headers="dist">$dist</td>
<td headers="val">$val</td>
</tr>
(... end loop...)
</tbody>
</table>
What do you think? Or did I misunderstand your question?
