the ground or vegetation, notify the responsible authorities.
Cleaning methods:
Rapidly collect the product. To do so, wear a mask and protective clothing.
If the product is in a liquid form, stop it from entering the drainage system.
Recover the product for re-use if possible, or for elimination in compliance with waste disposal
regulations in force. The product might, where appropriate, be absorbed by inert material.
After the product has been removed, rinse the involved area and materials with water that
must be disposed in compliance with regulations in force.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
