Analysis and Development of an F-5 Pollution Prevention Management Program with Recommendations for Creation of Similar Programs for other Aircraft
Abstract
This study developed a pollution prevention program for the F-5 aircraft, and described its utility and applicability as a generic framework for similar programs. A representative set of F-5 technical orders was analyzed by hand, and the identified chemicals, materials, and processes were loaded into a spreadsheet data base for additional analysis. The Environmental Protection Agency EPA 17 chemical list, and lists of ozone depleting chemicals (ODCs) were used as criteria to identify, for minimization, reduction, or elimination from use on the F-5, a hazardous material (hazmat) subset of those chemicals and materials which had already been identified. The identified hazmat substances were then 'rolled-up' into an F-5 Pollution Prevention Management Plan. Program management use and implementation of the information set out in such a plan were also described. Recommendations for additional research and development, and for required tools were included. Finally, actual examples of all of the material created were attached to the document.
