Civic Center Toxic Waste Questions, Answered
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.
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.
What if a spill reaches soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?
Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.
Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?
