SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if
required due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for firefighting information. See the
Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8
for Personal Protective Equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. In the event of a spill or
accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. US
regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the
applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry
creeks. The National Response Center can be reached at [phone].
CLEAN UP AND CONTAINMENT METHODS
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop
leak if you can do it without risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid direct contact and
wear specific protective equipment specified in section 8. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other
non-combustible material and vacuum or sweep to transfer material to containers. Prevent entry into
waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
Water Spill: Use caution as zinc may release hydrogen gas on contact with water. Confine the spill
immediately with booms. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Remove from the surface by skimming or
with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current
direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local
experts should be consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
