"This digest summarizes the results of ACRP Project 02-01, "Alternative Aircraft and Airfield Deicing and Anti-Icing Formulations with Reduced Aquatic Toxicity and Biochemical Oxygen Demand." The research was conducted by a project team consisting of the University of South Carolina, U.S. Geological Survey, Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene, Molecular Knowledge Systems Incorporated, Infoscitex Corporation, CH2M HILL, and Western Washington University. The digest was prepared from the project final reports authored by George Bowman, Steven R. Corsi, Lee Ferguson, Steven W. Geis, Harris Gold, Kevin Joback, and Dean Mericas.'

"TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Research Results Digest 9: Alternative Aircraft and Pavement Deicers and Anti-Icing Formulations with Improved Environmental Characteristics explores the aquatic toxicity and biological oxygen demand state of the art, components, and promising alternative formulations of deicing and anti-icing products. The report also examines the performance; efficiency; material compatibility; and environmental, operational, and safety impacts of alternative formulations and components as well as the fate and transport of deicing and anti-icing formulation components and their degradation products. A full report on this issue was published by TRB as ACRP Web-Only Document 8"--Publisher's description
