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 insurance cover chemical spills?
It depends on the policy. Some cover sudden spills, and many exclude pollution or long-term leaks. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.
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 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.
