Extractions: Our strategy has three components: In the Our performance section, we provide details of our progress against all of these components. This includes our investment in new ships with higher integrity, our work with others in the industry on oil spill response and our improved performance on the number of spills over the past four years. Spills, whether oil or chemicals, can have wide-ranging impacts on the environment and on local communities. Spills at sea can damage marine and bird life. Spills on land may affect species through direct contact, but can also have a lasting impact by contaminating land and groundwater. Thus preventing spills and mitigating the effects of any that do occur is very important. Historically large crude oil spills at sea have resulted in some of the greatest public and media attention due to the very visible and widespread coastal impact of heavy oil on beaches and wildlife. Major tanker incidents, including the Torrey Canyon, Valdez, Cadiz, Braer, Sea Empress, Erika and most recently the Prestige off Spain, resulted in huge environmental outrage, communicated internationally by headline press coverage. Based on the lessons learned, much has been done to prevent such events from happening again. However, whilst the risks of transporting oil across the oceans have reduced, incidents are still a very real possibility and continue to be recognized as one of the oil industry's greatest potential impacts on the environment.

Extractions: EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO CHEMICAL SPILLS AND/OR RELEASES Each department, shop, laboratory, studio, or work area must have an Emergency Response Plan which includes the appropriate site specific procedures and response equipment for dealing with a chemical spill. It is the responsibility of each individual using chemicals and chemical products to become familiar with this plan. The following general rules should be followed in the event of an emergency: Be familiar with the location of the alarm system in your area. If the incident could threaten the health of the individuals in the building, activate the alarm The first priority in the event of an emergency is to protect the life and health of individuals whenever possible. Do not unnecessarily jeopardize your own safety . Know the location of emergency showers and eyewashes. 3. EVACUATE NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL AND PREVENT ACCESS TO THE AREA.
Using Activated Charcoal To Inactivate Agricultural Chemical Spills AG-442
Using Activated Charcoal to Inactivate Agricultural chemical spills.Prepared by Fred H. Yelverton Crop Science Extension Specialist.

Extractions: Crop Science Extension Specialist Published by: North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service Publication Number: AG-442 Last Electronic Revision: March 1996 (JWM) Farmers as well as the general public are concerned about the effects of pesticides on the environment. At the sarne time, the agricultural community realizes that pesticides are uital for consistent profitableproductionofreliable, safe, high-quality agricultural commodities. Large quantities of pesticides are handled by farmers and farm workers; thus pesticide accidents may occur, euen when the most stringent safety guidelines are followed. If a pesticide spill occurs, proper corrective measures can help prevent environmental contamination of soil and water resources. If a pesticide is spilled accidently, if the wrong pesticide is applied, or if a pesticide is applied at an excessive rate, the best solution is to apply a material that will adsorb or inactivate the pesticide. Once the pesticide has been adsorbed, it is biologically inactive and cannot cause environmental contamination by running off in surface waters or leaching into groundwater. Activated charcoal (activated carbon) is the universal adsorbing material for most pesticides. Powdered activated charcoal is made up of very small carbon particles that have a high affinity for organic chemicals such as pesticides. Activated charcoal has a large surface area to which organic molecules can bind. When it is applied to pesticide-contaminated soil, the pesticide molecules are attracted to the charcoal particles and bind to them when they come into contact.

Extractions: Quick Links Transport Infoline CityRail CountryLink Monorail / Light Rail NSW RTA NSW Taxi Council StateRail Sydney Buses Sydney Ferries NSW Government Home Response Arrangements for Oil and Chemical Spills in State Waters Protection of NSW coastal waters from oil and chemical spills is vitally important. When these substances are discharged into the water they are very difficult to contain and recover. Such spills can occur anywhere along our coastline, or in our ports or estuaries. The sources of these spills could, for example, be a vessel or run-off from a spill on land. A spill has the potential to cause damage to the marine environment as well as its flora and fauna, no matter how quick and efficient the response. Depending on the type of spill or its location, the best decision may be not to clean it. For example, if a spill occurs at sea and is not threatening the coastline or sensitive areas, it may be prudent to monitor it and allow natural processes to disperse and biodegrade it.

If a large enough area of skin is contaminated an adverse health effect (systematic toxicological reaction) may occur immediately to several hours after initial exposure depending on the chemical. If more than 9 square inches of the skin area has been exposed to a hazardous chemical, seek medical attention after washing the material off the skin. If the incident involves hydrofluoric acid (HF), seek immediate medical attention. Provide the physician with the chemical name.

Some spills may be too large or too dangerous for laboratory personnel, in which case Safety Services will arrange to help with the spill clean up. Do not call Caretaking to clean up a chemical spill, their personnel are not properly trained to clean up laboratory chemical spills. Do not attempt to clean-up a chemical spill if you are unsure of the danger, do not have specific spill clean-up training, do not have proper equipment, or if highly toxic vapours or dusts are present. Neutralizers and absorbents for the chemicals in the laboratory must be present. In the event of a chemical spill: Warn personnel in the laboratory. If a volatile, flammable, or highly toxic material is spilled, have everybody extinguish flames and turn off spark-generating equipment and evacuate the laboratory immediately. If clothing is contaminated, remove it and use the emergency shower to rinse the affected areas. If contaminates are in your eyes rinse for at least 15 minutes at an eyewash station.

Small Spills: Four Basic Steps for Cleanup Personal safety - If someone comes into contact with a chemical, immediately rinse the affected area with water and contact the appropriate medical facility. Wear appropriate personal protection (gloves, boots, goggles, respirator) as needed. Containment of the spill - Close lab doors and windows. Outline the area of the spill with spill absorbent. For solvents, be sure to eliminate potential sources of ignition. Absorption of the spill - Begin to absorb the rest of the spill with the spill absorbent. Use a dustpan or scoop to stir the mixture. Cleanup - Scoop the spill mixture into a plastic bag or other appropriate container. Seal and label the container. Note: For assistance on minor spills and for assistance with disposal, contact the SCS Safety Officer at 3-6365. Consult the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Chemical Waste Management Guide concerning chemical spills.
