A chemical spill occurs when hazardous substances, such as toxic chemicals or industrial waste, accidentally leak or are released into the environment. This can happen during transportation, storage, or manufacturing processes. Chemical spills can pose serious risks to human health, wildlife, and ecosystems, depending on the nature and quantity of the spilled material. To manage a chemical spill, immediate response measures are essential. This often involves containing the spill to prevent further spread, using materials like absorbents or barriers. Emergency responders may also assess the situation to determine the best cleanup methods and ensure the safety of nearby communities and the environment.
