What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?
Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
