From page 18...
... Connections should be established between the Chemistry Division and other environmental programs within ONR in order to identify those areas in greatest need of new chemical understanding. Chemical research opportunities related to the environment span a broad spectrum of topics, including waste processing and waste disposal system needs, recycling and reuse of materials, waste minimization, the development of environmentally benign chemical processes, and pollution control.

From page 19...
... Basic studies should be directed toward generation of new chemical knowledge to meet the demand to prevent generation of pollutants. Some recent examples of changes in products and processes that have been driven by consideration for environmental improvement include the elimination of lead in gasoline, the use of water-based paints in industrial applications, and the required change over from refrigerant R12 to R134a.
