Chemical spills occur when hazardous substances leak or are released into the environment, often due to accidents or improper handling. These spills can happen in various settings, including industrial sites, laboratories, and during transportation. The chemicals involved can be toxic, flammable, or corrosive, posing risks to human health and the ecosystem. Responding to a chemical spill typically involves containment and cleanup efforts to minimize environmental damage. Emergency responders, such as hazardous materials teams, assess the situation and use specialized equipment to manage the spill safely. Proper training and safety protocols are essential to prevent spills and protect both people and the environment.
