A New Frontier for the U.S. Department of Defense Emerging Contaminants

摘要

Imagine if the U.S. Department ofrnDefense (DOD) and, by extension its supporting industries, could identify strategic risk management investments that both lessen the potential for adverse health effects and improve the DOD's capabilities to achieve its mission. That's the basic idea behind a new program initiated in 2006 by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations & Environment. The Emerging Contaminants Directorate aims to help DOD more proactively address emerging contaminants.
