When abatement procedures fail and do not provide the proper objectives, often abatement professionals will move to increase the amount of chemicals that are used in the abatement procedures, but this is a huge mistake.

Aborting abatement protocols due to abatement failure may need to occur in order to solve the solution, however this is often not the case when the people doing the abatement simply up the amounts of compounds and chemicals and expect a better result; this may seem prudent at the time, but it can lead to severe problems down the road you see.

This is very common in human nature, as often if we have a cold or flu and a certain over the counter drug slows that cold down, then we assume if we take more of the same then it should work. But as we know this is not the case either.

This is exactly the scenario we need to be careful of when exercising abatement procedures because putting more chemicals on the problem generally creates another problem, as per the law of unintended consequences. If you are aborting abatement protocols then you should abort the entire abatement mission and evaluate the current situation and start again with perhaps a totally different plan.

It is necessary often enough to start from scratch then to fix a botched abatement procedure that has failed or is failing. I sincerely hope you will consider all of this in 2006.
