These spills can happen in various settings, such as factories, transport vehicles, or storage facilities. The risks include harm to human health, wildlife, and ecosystems. Responding to a spill involves containment, cleanup, and ensuring safety for people and the environment. Regulations and protocols help manage these incidents to minimize their impact, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and proper handling of hazardous materials to prevent accidents from occurring in the first place.
