The Clean-up of Contaminated Military Sites, Consequences for a Pollution Prevention Approach, Requirements from a Viewpoint of Environmental Protection

Abstract

This seminar is held as a follow up of the NATO Study on "Environmental Technologies" which was concluded in September 1996. Focus of this study was: (1) To get a better understanding of contamination from military sources, to identify existing or evolving technologies and strategies. (2) To minimize environmental impacts of military operations and its areas for potential application in the military. (3) To identify research and development activities which may be required in the future. The study was focused on the following substances: (1) Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POLs) (2) Munitions, Energetics, and Propellants (3) Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), Fire Suppressants and Refrigerants (4) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Solvents and Surface Cleaners (5) Inorganic Surface Coatings (6) Organic Surface Coatings (7) Shipboard Liquid Waste (8) Shipboard Solid Waste (9) Pesticides
