EPA Seeks to Limit Plane Deicing Chemical Runoff

Of miserable jobs, deicing aircraft is one I have done. You're up in a lift bucket spraying gycol on planes in storms and wind and getting wet and the stuff is slippery. You end up feeling gooey and real cold.

Truthfully from my experiences working on airports I'd say that they are generally polluting, more than you might imagine, and uniform regulations are sensible.

Thanks to the authors for reminding me of another miserable job, of my past, that I hadn't thought of recently.

P.S. I'd near recommend digging moats around airports to catch all the various runoffs, and recycling all the crap. But hey, I'm no expert, I just did this stuff.
