f you want to help keep
the environment clean by
controlling POL spills,
you need the help of
some thirsty absorbers.
Uncle Sam stocks a
variety. There are big
picker-uppers for use on
big spills. And there are
small pads to use instead
of drip pans. Since these
pads don’t have to be on
flat terrain, they’re espe-
cially useful during field
exercises.
The best part is that
these picker-uppers, big
and small, pick up only
the spill. They don’t
absorb water.
Here’s what’s available:
HAZMAT . . .
For disposal of the absorbers, follow Army regulations and your installation’s
environmental policy.
You can get a free copy of a video showing these products in use by calling
