Homeland Security
As everyone is aware, the events of September 11, 2001, have placed
homeland security at the forefront of our nation’s priorities. The
U.S. EPA is engaged in identifying and filling data and information
gaps about technology performance with our sister agencies and departments,
including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As a part of
EPA’s efforts, the ETV Program is verifying the performance of commercially
available technologies for protecting and maintaining the security
of drinking water and for keeping buildings and indoor environments
safe. ETV is testing technologies that can be used to: monitor the
quality of the nation’s drinking water systems and supplies, monitor
indoor environments in buildings, and clean up building contamination
from intentional acts. In 2003, ETV completed 17 verifications of
these types of technologies. In 2004, 40 more ETV homeland security
verifications are expected.
