Reliable and Effective Means to Prevent a Chemical Release Incident on the Environment

It’s a too often common occurrence to turn on the news and witness some form of hazardous chemical release into the waterways, ground or atmosphere. These dangerous events have a much greater public concern over the last 25 years and social media and camera phones help to keep them in the forefront. Typically, we used to only hear about the larger incidents that result in the loss of life, environ-mental impact on drinking water, or large scale effect to wild-life, such as when the Exxon Valdez ran ashore on Prince William Sound’s Bligh Reef in 1989. Now we are hearing and seeing more such events, even those of a smaller-scale.
