A chemical spill occurs when hazardous substances are accidentally released into the environment. This can happen in various settings, such as industrial facilities, laboratories, or during transportation. The spilled chemicals can pose risks to human health, wildlife, and the ecosystem, depending on their toxicity and the volume released. Responding to a chemical spill typically involves containment and cleanup efforts to minimize environmental impact. Emergency responders may use specialized equipment and protective gear to manage the situation safely. Proper training and protocols are essential to prevent spills and ensure effective response, protecting both people and the environment from potential harm.
