U.S. COAST GUARD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL DISCHARGE RESPONSE

The U.S. Coast Guard's Office of Research and Development is presently conducting a program to develop equipment and methods for responding to discharges of hazardous chemicals into the waters of the United States. The program to ameliorate hazardous chemical discharges has been divided into six project areas as follows: (1) Prevention and Reduction; (2) Personnel Protection; (3) Detection, Identification and Quantification; (4) Hazard Assement Modeling; (5) Containment, Treatment, and Recovery; (6) Disposal.
