Spillage Treatment

Another set of coded letters are used for recommended spillage treatment. These are given in Appendix A 1.2. The treatment is recommended for small spillages after ascertaining the chemical spilt and being equipped with the required items.

Equipment to deal with spillages is summarized in Table 13.6. Treatment may require some eombination of the measures given in Table 13.7.

HGSystem offers the most rigorous treatments of HF source-term and dispersion analysis a ailable for a public domain code. It provides modeling capabilities to other chemical species with complex thermodynamic behavior. It treats aerosols and multi-component mixtures, spillage of a liquid non-reactive compound from a pressurized vessel, efficient simulations of time-dependent... 

If an infection is already present, or presumed to be present, then antimicrobial use is for treatment, not prophylaxis, and the goal is to eliminate the infection. This is the case when there is spillage of GI contents, gross damage or perforation is already present, or the tissue being operated on is actively infected (pus is present and cultures are positive). An example would be a patient undergoing surgery for a ruptured appendix with diffuse peritonitis. 

The time has long since passed when one could rely on gas chromatographic or liquid chromatographic data alone to identify unknown compounds in environmental samples. The sheer number of compounds present in such materials would invalidate the use of these techniques, and even in the case of simple mixtures the time required for identification would be too great to provide essential information in the case, for example, of accidental spillage of an organic substance into a water course or inlet to a water treatment plant where information is required very rapidly.
