Potentially Incompatible Absorbents <br /> Use caution: Liquids with this reactive group classification have been known to react with the absorbents listed <br /> below. <br /> ® Cellulose-Based Absorbents <br /> • Mineral-Based&Clay-Based Absorbents <br /> ® Expanded Polymeric Absorbents <br /> • Dirt/Earth <br /> Response Recommendations <br /> Isolation and Evacuation <br /> Excerpt from GUIDE 124 [Gases -Toxic and/or Corrosive- Oxidizing]: <br /> As an immediate precautionary measure,isolate spill or leak area for at least 100 meters(330 feet)in all <br /> directions. <br /> SPILL: See ERG Tables 1 and 3 -Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances on the UN/NA 1017 <br /> datasheet. <br /> FIRE:If tank,rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire,ISOLATE for 800 meters(1/2 mile)in all directions; <br /> also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters(1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2012) <br /> Firefighting <br /> Evacuate area endangered by gas. Stay upwind;keep out of low areas.Wear positive pressure breathing <br /> apparatus and full protective clothing. Move container from fire area if you can do so without risk. Spray <br /> cooling water on containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. If it is necessary to stop the <br /> flow of gas,use water spray to direct escaping gas away from those effecting shut-off. <br /> Will not bum,but most combustible materials will bum in chlorine' as they do in oxygen;flammable gases will <br /> form explosive mixtures with chlorine.Dry chemical, carbon dioxide,water spray,fog or foam. (EPA, 1998) <br /> Non-Fire Response <br /> Excerpt from GUIDE 124 [Gases-Toxic and/or Corrosive-Oxidizing]: <br /> Fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. Do not touch or <br /> walk through spilled material. Keep combustibles(wood,paper, oil,etc.)away from spilled material. Stop leak <br /> if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water <br /> runoff to contact spilled material.Do not direct water at spill or source of leak. If possible,turn leaking <br /> containers so that gas escapes rather than liquid.Prevent entry into waterways, sewers,basements or confined <br /> areas.Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate the area. (ERG, 2012) <br /> Protective Clothing <br /> Skin: Wear appropriate personal protective clothing to prevent skin from becoming frozen from contact with <br /> the liquid or from contact with vessels containing the liquid. <br /> Eyes:Wear appropriate eye protection to prevent eye contact with the liquid that could result in burns or tissue <br /> damage from frostbite. <br /> http:H127.0.0.1:54673/report?key=CH2862 4/15/2015 <br />
