Chemical Safety

Procedures for handling chemical spills(泄露) and leaks.

Chemical spills and leaks can be broken down into two basic types: simple spills, which you can clean up yourself and complicated spills, which require outside assistance.

If your spill meets ANY of the following conditions, it is a COMPLICATED SPILL.

? A person is injured; or

? The identity of the chemical is unknown; or

? Multiple chemicals are involved; or

? The chemical is highly poisonous, flammable (可燃的) or reactive ; or

? The spill/leak occurs in a “public space” such as a corridor; or

? The spill/leak has the potential to spread to other parts of the building such as through the ventilation (通风) system; or

? The clean up procedures are not known or appropriate materials are not readily available; or

? The clean up requires a respirator (呼吸器) (including cartridge respirators) to be worn and no personnel have been trained and fit-tested in accordance(一致) with the campus Respiratory Protection Program; or

? The spill/leak may endanger the environment by reaching waterways or outside ground, or by going down a drain

If none of the above conditions are met, the spill is defined as a simple spill. You may clean up simple spills in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Chemical Safety Guide. For consultative assistance, call Division of Research Safety (DSR) at 333-2755.

How to report a complicated spill

1. Evacuate(撤退) to a safe location, and alert others to evacuate.

2. Dial 9-911 from a campus phone.

3. Tell the operator you are calling to report a chemical spill at the University of Illinois.

? Quantity spilled

? Location of spill (Full building name and room number)

? Number of people injured or slashed

? If applicable, the occurrence of a fire or explosion

5. Have someone knowledgeable about the chemical spilled meet the fire department at the main entrance to your building. Take a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the chemical, if it is readily available.

A lot of people are afraid spiders(蜘蛛)–even the small ones. But a big tarantula(鸟蛛)is much more terrifying for many. Now, scientists in Sri Lanka have discovered a huge species of tarantula that’s about the size of a person’s face.

The first part of the spider’s scientific name, Poecilotheria rajaei, comes from the Greek words for “spotted”(poikilos) and “wild beast” (therion). Its species name, rajaei, comes from a local police officer who helped the team that discovered the creature. Poecilotheria rajaei has 8-inch long legs, and unusual spots colored gray, pink, and yellow.

Although it is very big, is there a real reason to be afraid of one? Maybe. This tarantula has enough poisonous fluid(毒液)to kill mice and small birds and snakes –but its bite wouldn’t cause the death of most humans.

Poecilotheria rajaei was first seen in 2009, when a villager in Sri Lanka found the body of a male and brought it to Ranil Nanayakkara, co-founder of Sri Lanka’s Biodiversity Education and Research organization.

An examination of the awesome creature proved that it was a type of tarantula scientists hadn’t seen before. So Nanayakkara carefully looked through the Sri Lankan forests to try to find more of the spiders.

It’s still too early to know whether this species is endangered. But researchers fear that the tarantulas’ natural habitat is slowly being destroyed.

“ They prefer old trees, but due to the widespread removal of trees the number has dropped,” Nanayakkara said in an interview.

Tarantulas have eight legs and two body parts. They are different from insects, which have only six legs but three body parts. Tarantulas have hairy bodies and are usually larger than other types of spiders. Some species of tarantulas can live up to 25 years.

While Poecilotheria rajaei is very big, the largest tarantula is the Goliath bird-eater (Theraphosa blondi). Found in the rainforests of South America, its legs can be up to 10 inches long. But don’t worry if you ever see one: Its poisonous fluid isn’t really dangerous to humans.
