PORTSMOUTH, NH, September 26, 2012- Absolute Resource Associates (ARA) of Portsmouth, NH has been awarded an environmental services contract with Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. Under this agreement, ARA will provide the personnel, materials, equipment and supervision as needed for environmental projects at Hanscom related to asbestos and lead sample collection and laboratory analysis.
