Spill Response

In addition to following EH&S general spill response directions (http://chemtoolkit.stanford.edu/emergencies), integrate the additional measures for spills involving nanomaterials:

• Use wet clean up methods or vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA-filters.
• Do not dry sweep or use conventional vacuum cleaners.
• Collect spill cleanup materials in a tightly closed container
• Manage spill cleanup debris as hazardous waste.
