Pollution Incident Response

Pollution Incident Response refers to the actions taken to manage and mitigate the effects of environmental contamination caused by spills or leaks of harmful substances. When a pollution event occurs—like an oil spill or chemical leak—teams are mobilized to contain and clean up the pollutant, prevent further damage, and protect human health and ecosystems. This involves assessing the situation, deploying resources, and coordinating with various agencies. Effective response aims to minimize environmental impact, restore affected areas, and ensure compliance with regulations to prevent future incidents.
