Regardless of the size, each facility requires aircraft mechanics to be knowledgeable of the handling,
storing and disposal procedures of hazardous materials and waste. The majority of hazardous waste
are generated by the cleaning, corrosion control, fluid lines and ground handling (such as fueling and
deicing) procedures. These operations with other maintenance procedures will be discussed in the
following chapters. Each chapter will describe the different hazardous materials and waste
associated with each procedure and provide pollution prevention and waste minimization practices.
