SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Staff Sgt. Eva Doty, 52nd Aerospace Medicine Squadron water protection program NCO in charge, checks a chlorine sample at Bldg. 175 here March 20 to ensure there is an adequate amount of chlorine in the base water system. Samples are taken at 21 different locations around base every month. The amount of samples taken per month is based on governing standards as well as the base population. The Airmen provide emergency response capabilities, monitor drinking water, assess chemical and noise hazards, and protect the environment against contamination from accidental releases of hazardous materials.

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Senior Airman Jonathan Moroz, 52nd Aerospace Medicine Squadron bioenvironmental engineering technician, uses a hazardous material ID to identify a test powder during a function check at Bldg. 175 here March 20. Function checks are done weekly on the HAZMAT ID to ensure it’s ready to identify specific chemical compounds in soils, powders, pastes, gels and liquids. If equipment isn’t ready or calibrated it could miss identify hazards and cause the bioenvironmental Airmen to improperly diagnose treatment measures.
