My idea for a possible project topic involves environmental cleanup. After working this summer as a member of a hazmat team and doing various projects aimed at cleaning up the environment, and after reading the meadowlands, I felt this would be a relevant topic. Every day there are chemical or oil spills. The Department of Environmental Protection is notified when these spills are discovered. The DEP is then responsible for finding a company to come in a clean up the mess. There are many things to discuss when talking about cleanup such as, how to clean up an oil spill, how to determine the chemicals present when they are unknown, the tools used for the job, and the proper personal protective equipment that needs to be worn to protect the indivuduals involved.
