Problem Definition Current test methods for both PCBs and Pb/Cr in paint on ship surfaces required physically scraping paint off the surface, sending it to a laboratory, and waiting up to several weeks for the test results. This is both labor intensive and time consuming; it also results in long delays in scheduling of repair and demolition work.
Proposed Solution Develop, test, and evaluate hand-held or portable analyzers for in-situ testing.
Expected Result Hand-held or portable analyzers for in-situ testing
Benefits Reduce cost and time associated with the analysis of hazardous materials in coatings on Naval vessels
