Section 6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
:
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and se
wers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
up
wind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spil
lages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect
spil
lage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diat
omaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(
see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated
absorbent
material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see
Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
