Questions About Chemical Spill Cleanup in Birmingham, MI
Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?
Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
What is chemical and toxic waste cleanup?
It is the safe containment, removal and disposal of spilled, leaking or abandoned chemicals. Crews identify the substance and wear suitable protective gear. They contain the spill, clean the area and send waste to a facility that can accept 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.
