EPA, PADEP, Monroe County EOS are assisting Pocono Raceway and NASCAR by predeploying to the racetrack to:

. reduce response time for a team to respond to a hazardous substance incident

. perform air monitoring surveillance for chemical and radiological agents carried into the raceway from outside sources before and during the race

. perform chemical and radiological agent sweeps in the garage, paddock, pit, and grandstand areas prior to each trials period and race.

. perform air analysis, either real time or bag sample using the Trace Atmosphere Gas Analyzer, GCMS, and other remote sensing equipment.
