In the STARR protocol, which step involves disposing of recovered chemical and contaminated soil or materials?

• A. Remediate
• B. Recover
• C. Abate
• D. Secure

Answer: (A)

In the STARR protocol, disposing of recovered chemical and contaminated soil or materials is handled during remediation. This phase is about finishing the cleanup: removing and properly disposing of the recovered pesticide, contaminated soil and materials (like absorbents or rags) and ensuring the site is returned to a safe condition. It involves following waste disposal rules and coordinating with appropriate authorities to prevent ongoing exposure or environmental harm. The other steps focus on keeping people out (securing), reducing the hazard (abating), or collecting the spilled material (recovering); they don’t specifically cover the disposal and final cleanup actions that remediation provides.
