There are few things as precious as Earth’s environment. It supports the thriving life cycles of millions of species, including humans.
Recent years have seen waste, pollution, and spills threatening the planet’s delicate environment. Now more than ever, environmental cleanup companies are essential to preserving our natural support system.
浪费和倾销
Many companies and individuals see nature as a convenient dumping ground for unwanted waste and other materials. However, such disposal of hazardous substances has adverse effects on the planet’s environment. And because humans live in this environment, those effects will catch up to them.
最近，一家公司的员工处置25次灭火器by throwing them into the ocean. Each extinguisher contained 10 pounds of chemicals. Most of the chemicals washed up on a nearby shore.
However, a sheen remained on the water’s surface. Such sheens are indicative of a chemical presence.
作为回应，一个环境清理公司placed booms around the dumping site. Booms are barriers that help contain spills and other water-bound disasters. Once the hazard is contained, skimming and vacuuming help to remove it.
Fortunately, cleanup finished the day after the dumping, thanks to the cleanup company’s efforts.
漏油
意外发生。管道休息。容器泄漏。但是，当涉及到环境中，小事可能会产生大的反响。
在最近的一次事故中，一家石油管道公司在其中一个管道中经历了泄漏。泄漏导致溢出1,115桶柴油进入环境。该金额等于近50,000加仑。
Diesel is classified as one of the most toxic types of oil. Large spills typically kill any life that comes into contact with them, including fish, birds, and seaweed. This holds especially true if a spill reaches a smaller, enclosed water source.
幸运的是，泄漏没有到达任何水道。然而，冬季天气影响了清洁公司努力的速度。
消防抑制泡沫
Airplane hangars stock gallons of fire suppression foam. The foam shoots out, covers the entire floor, and fills the room by several feet. It snuffs out liquid fires by cutting off any oxygen a fire might be able to access.
消防抑制泡沫是一种致癌物，可引起癌症的药剂。稀释时，泡沫会导致皮肤刺激。
Last year, a hanger malfunction led to vast amounts of foam spraying and spilling into a street at the San Jose-Santa Clara border. Some locals took to biking through and playing in the foam. However, the fire captain advised anyone who came into contact with the foam to wash off immediately and seek medical attention.
一些泡沫通过排水沟渗入下水道系统。在雨前进一步蔓延有害物质之前，调用清洁公司参加该地区。
环境清理公司的重要性
在这些和其他危险情况下，环境清理公司在有毒材料的遏制和拆除中发挥了重要作用。他们继续发挥重要作用，因为每天都有更多的倾销和事故。
虽然这些公司存在，但环保护理在家开始。是否只是节约能源或者保守水今天,我们采取小步骤将离开大footprints tomorrow. We have to work to make sure those footprints follow an environmentally sound path.
