| Abstract | Long Description |
What potential damages and liabilities to a firm may result from its use or generation of hazardous substances? Potential damages and liabilities resulting from the illegal or unintended release into the environment of hazardous substances can be divided into three major categories: - fines and administratively mandated cleanup costs; - common law (tort) actions by third parties affected by illegal or unin-tended releases; and - damages to property or operations experienced directly by a firm as a result of its release of hazardous substances. |
