A few years from now, emergency personnel responding to a chemical spill at a train wreck may be able to breathe a little easier. Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory are testing a portable Raman spectroscopy system that will enable open-air measurements of environmental contaminants from more than 1700 feet away. Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a mobile Raman spectroscopy system to remotely assess unknown chemical spills in emergency situations. The system uses 266-nm Raman lidar to target samples more than 1700 feet away. The Mobile Raman Lidar Van arose from research into Raman spectroscopy for lidar, explained Arthur J. Sedlacek III, optical remote sensing and spectroscopy group leader in the laboratory's environmental sciences department. "We slowly became aware of the need of the first-responder community to be able to identify unknown chemical spills prior to handling," he said. Currently, Hazmat personnel must bring a sensor close to a spill or collect a sample for testing. "The Mobile Raman Lidar Van is designed to interrogate puddles or perhaps residues on a surface," Sedlacek said. Cleanup scenarios include train derailments, chemical manufacturing accidents and transport truck accidents.

ISM HOME POLICY ISM GUIDING PRINCIPLES ... FOR MORE INFO Chemical Spills Proper response to chemical spills depends on the nature and amount of the material spilled. You may be able to clean it up yourself. General guidelines are listed below. First, you must understand the potential hazards of the material. Do you have the proper protective equipment and the necessary training for handling it? Can you clean it up without risking a potentially harmful exposure? Second, consider the amount of material spilled. Can you clean it up quickly and thoroughly? A good rule of thumb is that you should not attempt to clean up a spill if it will take you and a co-worker more than one hour. If you determine that you can clean it up safely and completely, use the appropriate spill kit or absorbent material, either for flammable solvents, acids, or caustics. Make sure the proper spill kits are available in your lab. Read the instructions inside the kit. The bottom line on spills is this: if the spill has potential for personal harm, can spread through air or water, or can cause personal contamination, call ext. 7911 for assistance. Whether you clean it up yourself or call for help, notify your supervisor. Remember, you must dispose of absorbed spilled material as hazardous waste.

Home Chemistry Biology Physical Science ... Laboratory Chemical Safety Preventing Chemical Spills Introduction: No matter what precautions are taken, accidental chemical spills will occur in a science laboratory. Be a responsible science teacher and make sure proper safety equipment is available to contain and control a spill and understand how to use the safety equipment. Equally as important as knowing how to clean up spills is understanding how to prevent both minor and major chemical spills. Experiments, laboratories, and purchasing procedures should be designed to minimize the possibility of chemical spills. Experiments should use the minimal amount of chemicals whenever possible. The following guidelines will reduce the risk of chemical spills. Purchase of Chemicals: Purchase, store, and dispense chemicals from the smallest bottle possible. For example, do not order or dispense from a 500-mL bottle if each student only needs 1 mL. Purchase, store, and dispense chemicals in unbreakable plastic or PVC-coated glass bottles. Elemental mercury and volatile toxic chemicals must never be stored in uncoated glass bottles. Purchase all concentrated acids in PVC-coated glass bottles. Purchase and store highly toxic or reactive materials in a secondary containment device, such as a Chem-Saf

CHEMICAL SPILLS ON PERSONNEL For spills covering small amounts of skin, immediately flush with flowing water for no less than 15 minutes. If there is no visible burn, wash with warn water and soap, removing any jewelry to facilitate removal of any residual materials. Check the MSDS to see if any delayed effects should be expected. It is advisable to seek medical attention for even minor chemical burns. For spills on clothes, don't attempt to wipe or flush off the clothes. Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, shoes and jewelry while using the safety shower. Seconds count, and no time should be wasted because of modesty. Be careful not to spread the chemical on the skin, or especially in the eyes. To prevent contamination of the eyes use caution when removing pullover shirts or sweaters, ti may be better to cut the garments off. Immediately flood the affected body are a with tempered water for at least 15 minutes. Resume if pain returns. Do not use creams, lotions or salves. Get medical attention as soon as possible. Launder contaminated clothes separately from other clothing or discard as recommended in the MSDS. Never work with chemicals in a laboratory that is not equipped with a safety shower. For splashes into the eyes, immediately flush the eye with tempered potable water from a gently flowing source for at least 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids away from the eyeball, move the eye up and down and sideways to wash thoroughly behind the eyelids.

Chemical Spills Chemical spills which may pose a threat should be handled by: Attempt to confine the spill as much as possible only if you have been trained to confine spills and are thoroughly familiar with the hazards of the spilled chemical. If you have contact with the spilled material, find a source of water ( restroom, kitchen sink, custodial closet) remove any contaminated clothing immediately and flush all areas of bodily contract with large amounts of water. Notify the Public Safety Department at (96)2-5555 and tell them: Building Name, Floor, Room Number, Type of Accident and Chemicals Involved. Minor Chemical Spills Defined as a spill of potentially dangerous chemicals in quantities less than one liter. In a laboratory environment, this would normally be limited to extremely hazardous substances. In an office maintenance environment it is presumed that the person using the chemical is aware of the properties and hazards associated with the use of the chemical and can, therefore, be responsible for its cleanup. Major Chemical Spills Defined as a spill of potentially dangerous chemicals in quantities exceeding one liter or creates a condition that would be dangerous for many people. These spills are generally beyond the training, scope, capacity and resources of the individual users. Major spills are NOT to be cleaned up by the user or departments who have the chemicals, but are to be referred to the St. Paul or Minneapolis Fire Departments for response by trained and properly equipped hazardous material teams.

Neutralizing Chemical Spills Document Number: 148 Why does it make sense to neutralize an acidic or a caustic material as part of a spill cleanup? First, it makes the material safer to handle. Strong acids and bases can be very corrosive to many materials, including skin. Second, it dramatically decreases the cost of disposal, as it is very costly to dispose of strong acids and bases. How do you know if something is a strong acid or base? The best way to measure this is to take the pH of the solution. This can be accomplished with pH paper, chemical indicators or pH meters. What exactly is pH? pH is the measurement of hydrogen ion concentration [H+] in solution. To calculate the pH of a solution, use the following formula: pH = log 1 / [H+] So if the hydrogen ion concentration is 1 x 10 moles/liter, the pH would be 3. The pH scale measures from to 14. Chemicals with a pH of 0-3 are considered strong acids. Chemicals with a pH of 12-14 are considered strong bases. To be considered neutral, a chemical must have a pH of 7.
