The EMERGENCIES SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGIES DIVISION carries out research and development on
the properties, behaviour, effects, and in-situ treatment of spilled hazardous materials.
Techniques are also developed, and applied, for measuring contamination in air, water, and
soil at spill sites and for airborne remote sensing of spills. Results of this work are
regularly applied to real spill incidents, providing assistance to spill responders and feedback
to the researchers on the direction of their work.
Division scientists conduct their work in a specialized oil spill research laboratory,
one of the leading laboratories of its kind in the world. At this facility, scientists conduct
research on spilled oil and chemical materials and the effectiveness and environmental benefits
of in-situ countermeasures. Such information is used to prepare technical guidance documents and
manuals, and is provided to spill responders and decision-makers to better inform them in taking appropriate
actions. The Division's expertise in decontamination technologies and clean-up standards is recognized both
nationally and internationally. The Division also directs spill emergencies engineering and contaminated
sites remediation research and development activities through an alternative service delivery contract
with SAIC Canada.
