Abstract:
Degreasing and removal of paint from metal parts are processes performed at several Army depots across the country as part of vehicle and equipment rebuilding operations. These processes generate many tons of hazardous waste and release some hazardous materials into the workplace because most of them incorporate toxic chlorinated solvents or caustic soda These substances also produce sludges that are classified as hazardous waste. U.S. Army Depot Support Command DESCOM, as part of its hazardous waste minimization program, has established as a goal the elimination of hazardous waste generation from paint stripping operations. Through specific research and development projects, the U.S. Armys Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency USATHAMA assists Army Depots in developing and evaluating methods for minimizing the quantities of hazardous wastes that they generate. Chemical Cleaning, Paint Stripping, Hazardous.
