Using Activated Charcoal To Inactivate Agricultural Chemical Spills AG-442 Using Activated Charcoal to Inactivate Agricultural chemical spills In this area, as well as in the case of some pesticide spills, soil pesticide levels http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/programs/extension/publicat/wqwm/ag442.html

Using Activated Charcoal to Inactivate Agricultural Chemical Spills Prepared by: Fred H. Yelverton Crop Science Extension Specialist Jerome B. Weber Professor of Crop Science Gerald Peedin Crop Science Extension Specialist W. David Smith Crop Science Extension Specialist Published by: North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service Publication Number: AG-442 Last Electronic Revision: March 1996 (JWM) Farmers as well as the general public are concerned about the effects of pesticides on the environment. At the sarne time, the agricultural community realizes that pesticides are uital for consistent profitableproductionofreliable, safe, high-quality agricultural commodities. Large quantities of pesticides are handled by farmers and farm workers; thus pesticide accidents may occur, euen when the most stringent safety guidelines are followed. If a pesticide spill occurs, proper corrective measures can help prevent environmental contamination of soil and water resources. Inactivating Pesticide Spills If a pesticide is spilled accidently, if the wrong pesticide is applied, or if a pesticide is applied at an excessive rate, the best solution is to apply a material that will adsorb or inactivate the pesticide. Once the pesticide has been adsorbed, it is biologically inactive and cannot cause environmental contamination by running off in surface waters or leaching into groundwater. Activated charcoal (activated carbon) is the universal adsorbing material for most pesticides. Powdered activated charcoal is made up of very small carbon particles that have a high affinity for organic chemicals such as pesticides. Activated charcoal has a large surface area to which organic molecules can bind. When it is applied to pesticide-contaminated soil, the pesticide molecules are attracted to the charcoal particles and bind to them when they come into contact.

A few years from now, emergency personnel responding to a chemical spill at a train wreck may be able to breathe a little easier. Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory are testing a portable Raman spectroscopy system that will enable open-air measurements of environmental contaminants from more than 1700 feet away. Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a mobile Raman spectroscopy system to remotely assess unknown chemical spills in emergency situations. The system uses 266-nm Raman lidar to target samples more than 1700 feet away. The Mobile Raman Lidar Van arose from research into Raman spectroscopy for lidar, explained Arthur J. Sedlacek III, optical remote sensing and spectroscopy group leader in the laboratory's environmental sciences department. "We slowly became aware of the need of the first-responder community to be able to identify unknown chemical spills prior to handling," he said. Currently, Hazmat personnel must bring a sensor close to a spill or collect a sample for testing. "The Mobile Raman Lidar Van is designed to interrogate puddles or perhaps residues on a surface," Sedlacek said. Cleanup scenarios include train derailments, chemical manufacturing accidents and transport truck accidents.

Home Chemistry Biology Physical Science ... Laboratory Chemical Safety Preventing Chemical Spills Introduction: No matter what precautions are taken, accidental chemical spills will occur in a science laboratory. Be a responsible science teacher and make sure proper safety equipment is available to contain and control a spill and understand how to use the safety equipment. Equally as important as knowing how to clean up spills is understanding how to prevent both minor and major chemical spills. Experiments, laboratories, and purchasing procedures should be designed to minimize the possibility of chemical spills. Experiments should use the minimal amount of chemicals whenever possible. The following guidelines will reduce the risk of chemical spills. Purchase of Chemicals: Purchase, store, and dispense chemicals from the smallest bottle possible. For example, do not order or dispense from a 500-mL bottle if each student only needs 1 mL. Purchase, store, and dispense chemicals in unbreakable plastic or PVC-coated glass bottles. Elemental mercury and volatile toxic chemicals must never be stored in uncoated glass bottles. Purchase all concentrated acids in PVC-coated glass bottles. Purchase and store highly toxic or reactive materials in a secondary containment device, such as a Chem-Saf

Chemical Spills Hazardous material spills can seriously threaten the lives of anyone within the spill area. If local officials advise you to "shelter-in-place," you must remain inside your home or office and take the following steps to maximize your protection: Close and lock all outside doors and windows. Turn off all fans, heating and air-conditioning systems (Examples: kitchen, bathroom and dryer vents). Close the fireplace damper. Get your disaster supply kit and make sure the radio is working. Go to an interior room that is above ground level, preferably, one without windows. An above ground location is best because some chemicals are heavier than air and may seep into basements, even if the windows are closed. Seal all cracks around the door and any vents into the room. Continue to monitor your radio or television until you are told it is safe or advised to evacuate. Local officials may later call for the evacuation of specific areas that are at greatest risk in your community. Responders will advise when it's safe to leave the premises. If you suspect contamination, take shallow breaths through a cloth or towel. If medical help is not immediately available, shower, place exposed clothing in a tightly sealed container and wait for emergency assistance. REMEMBER TO HAVE SOMONE CALL 911.
