Chlorinated Organics: <br />Chlorinated organic chemicals are toxic to varying degrees and may <br />cause skin irritation or rashes to develop if spilled material comes into <br />contact with the skin. The majority of the chlorinated organics are non- <br />flammable. Vapors from these chemicals can cause eye irritation, lung <br />irritation, and dizziness. Examples of chlorinated organics are: <br />Methylene chloride <br />Perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethylene) <br />1,1,1 trichloroethane <br />Trichloroethylene <br />The area of spilled chlorinated organics should be diked using inert <br />adsorbents or sand. Pools of spilled material then may be pumped into <br />a DOT UN specification container suitable for the lading. Liquids that <br />cannot be recovered by pumping should be made into a solid using inert <br />adsorbent material and then shoveled into a DOT UN specification <br />container suitable for the lading. <br />Contaminated soils should be excavated and contained in DOT UN <br />specification container suitable for the lading. Contaminated equipment <br />should be cleaned, and the cleaning residue contained in DOT UN <br />specification container suitable for the lading. <br />Persons coming into contact with the spilled material should remove all <br />contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly with soap and water. <br />Obtain medical attention as soon as possible in accordance with the <br />medical surveillance program of HAZWOPER.
