Berthoud Toxic Waste Questions, Answered

What should I do first after a chemical spill?

Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.

What do cleanup teams use on a chemical spill?

It depends on the substance. Teams choose absorbent materials, tools and cleaning products to match it, and they follow the maker's safety data sheet. Household products are not mixed together. Ask what the team plans to use and why.

What chemicals can toxic waste cleanup crews remove?

Common ones are paints, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning products, batteries and mercury. Crews also remove unlabeled containers once the contents are identified. Ask the team what it can handle for your site.

Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?

Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood, body fluids and germs, while chemical cleanup deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific chemical before hiring it.

Does a chemical spill have to be reported?

Reporting rules depend on the substance, the amount and where it spilled. The local fire department, the health department or an attorney can say what applies. A cleanup team can explain the work and the records it can provide.

What if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?

Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.
