Question: Why should ICs consult technical sources before using equipment to confine spilled materials?

Answer: To determine if the spilled material will adversely affect the equipment

Question: A defensive spill-control tactic that confines a hazardous material, rather than changing its physical and/or chemical properties, is

Answer: absorption.

Question: Neutralization and vapor dispersion are:

Answer: defensive spill-control tactics aimed at reducing the amount of harm a material causes.

Question: Why must responders treat and dispose of absorbents as hazardous materials?

Answer: Absorbents retain the properties of the materials they absorb.

Question: During the process of adsorption, the molecules of the liquid hazardous material

Answer: physically adhere to the adsorbent material rather than being absorbed into its inner spaces.
