- Measures for cleaning/collecting:                                      

   Take up small spills with dry chemical absorbent.                      

   Large spills may be taken up with pump or vacuum and finished off with dry chemical absorbent.

   May require excavation of contaminated soil. Shovel up residues and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal.

   Put leaking container into a labelled drum or overdrum

Handling and storage

- Handling:
