Goal 5: Pollution Prevention

LANL is dedicated to finding ways to reduce waste, prevent pollution, and recycle waste that cannot be reduced.

Technical Area 21: Water was sprayed during the demolition of 24 Cold War-era buildings at TA-21 to protect air quality.

Recycling metal from the buildings at Technical Area 21 saved LANL from generating more than 3300 cubic yards of waste.

Skilled excavator operator Gilbert Pacheco extracts an extra 16 tons of recyclable metal at Technical Area 21.

Energy efficient LED lights were installed in the Occupational Medicine facility to lower costs and improve lighting conditions.
