In the event of a spill or leak, the company’s Hazardous Materials
Response Team should be notified. While wearing full protective
equipment, the response team should cover the spill with dry sand,
vermiculite, or any other approved absorbent material. Mix well and
carefully transfer the contaminated absorbent material to an approved
container used only for gallium arsenide waste. Do not mix used
absorbent materials from different spills without consulting the safety
officer, hazardous materials officer, or other designated person in your
company. Local, state, or federal EPA regulations should be consulted
for proper disposal. Consult your supplier for additional methods.
See Section 7 of the gallium arsenide MSDS for additional
information.
