6 Measures after unintended release
Personal safety precautions:
No measures should be taken that involve a risk to personnel or have not been
adequately trained. Evacuate the environment. Refuse access to personnel who
are not required or are unprotected. Do not touch or step on any spilled substance.
Avoid breathing in any spray or vapors. Ensure adequate ventilation. Where there
is insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use suitable
protective equipment (see Section 8).
Environmental protection measures:
Prevent released material from dispersing or flowing away and from coming into
contact with soil, surface waters and drainage system. Notify the relevant
authorities if the product has caused pollution (sewers, surface waters, ground or
air). Substance is a water pollutant.
Large spills: Stop the leak if you can do so without risk. Remove container from spill area.
Approach the spill area only with a following wind. Prevent entry into drainage
system, surface waters, basements or confined areas. Flush spilled material into a
wastewater treatment plant, or proceed as follows. Contain spilled material using a
non--combustible absorbent (e.g. sand, soil, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth) and
collect it in the designated containers for disposal in accordance with the local
regulations (see Section 13). Disposal should be entrusted to a recognized waste
disposal company. Contaminated absorbents can be just as dangerous as spilled
material. Note: See Section 1 for contact in emergencies and Section 13 for
disposal information.
Small spills: Stop the leak if you can do so without risk. Remove container from spill area.
Absorb spill with inert material and place it in a suitable container for disposal.
Disposal should be entrusted to a recognized waste disposal company.
