"Others see a waste, we see a resource"
Air Accident clean-up
Following an air disaster, materials that are discharged, emitted or created by the impact or subsequent fire can cause harm to human health or serious damage to the environment. The potential consequences include pollution to water courses, soil and the atmosphere, as well as a threat to the health and safety of the emergency services and clean-up workers.

Examples of materials that can pose a threat to the environment:
  •  
Jet fuel and hydraulic fluids 
  •  
Potentially toxic metals
  •  
Unknown substances contained in cargo
  •  
Depleted uranium counter balance weights
  •  
Composite

All of these environmental issues can result in huge liabilities for insurance underwriters and should not be ignored.
