Waste disposal method
Batteries: Send to lead smelter for reclamation fol-
lowing applicable federal, state, and local regula-
tions.
❑ Diesel Fuel (NA 1993)
☞
Extinguishing media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or CO
2
.
☞
Special fire fighting procedures:
Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool. If
leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to dis-
perse the vapors and to provide protection for per-
sonnel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may
be used to flush spills away from exposures.
☞
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Products of combustion may contain carbon mon-
oxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic materials.
DO NOT enter enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment
including respiratory protection.
☞
Spill or leak:
Contain spill immediately in smallest area possible.
Recover as much of the product itself as possible
by such methods as vacuuming, followed by soak-
ing up of residual fluids by use of absorbent materi-
als.
Remove contaminated items including contami-
nated soil and place in proper containers for dis-
posal. Avoid washing, draining, or directing
material to storm or sanitary sewers .
☞
Waste disposal method:
Recycle as much of the recoverable product as
possible.
Dispose of non-recyclable material as a RCRA
hazardous waste by such methods as incineration,
complying with federal, state, and local regulations.
❑ Foam In Tires
☞
Extinguishing media:
Water, dry chemical, foam, or CO
2
.
☞
Special fire fighting procedures:
Evacuate non emergency personnel to a safe area.
☞
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Fire fighters should use self contained breathing
apparatus. Avoid breathing smoke, fumes, and de-
composition products.
Use water spray to drench smoldering elastomer.
Product may melt, after ignition, to form flammable
liquid.
Burning produces intense heat, dense
smoke, and toxic gases, such as carbon
monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and traces of
hydrogen cyanide.
☞
Spill or leak:
Pick up and handle as any other inert solid material.
☞
Waste disposal method:
Not considered a hazardous material. Dispose of
material according to any local, state, and federal
regulations.
❑ Gasoline (UN 1203)
☞
Extinguishing media:
Dry chemical, foam, or CO
2
.
☞
Special fire fighting procedures:
Water may be ineffective to extinguish, but water
should be used to keep fire exposed containers
cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water
spray to disperse the vapors and to protect person-
nel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be
used to flush spills away from areas of potential ig-
nition.
☞
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Highly Flammable. Products of combustion may
contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other
toxic materials.
DO NOT enter enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment
including respiratory protection.
