Questions About Chemical Spill Cleanup in Garfield Heights, OH
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.
How do biological hazards differ from chemical hazards?
Biological hazards come from living things, such as bacteria, viruses and body fluids. Chemical hazards come from substances like solvents, acids, fuels and pesticides. They need different gear, products and disposal, and some jobs involve both.
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.
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.
Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?
