6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Response Notice:
Only persons properly qualified to respond to an emergency involving hazardous substances should respond
to a spill involving chemicals. See Section 13, Special Instructions for disposal assistance.
Containment Technique: Releases of this material may contaminate the envir onment. Absorb spilled liquid
with non -reactive sorbent material. Stop spilled material from being released to the environment. Dike the
spill to contain material for later disposal.
Clean -up Technique: Mercury and its compounds are extremely toxic! Be extremely careful not to contact
the spill or breathe any vapors. Absorb spilled liquid with non -reactive sorbent material. Dispose of all
mercury contaminated material at an E.P.A. hazardous waste facility. Dispose of material in an E.P.A.
approve d hazardous waste facility. Decontaminate area with commercially available mercury absorbing
compounds.
Evacuation Procedure: Evacuate general area (50 foot radius or as directed by your facility's emergency
response plan) when: any quantity is spill ed. If conditions warrant, increase the size of the evacuation.
