Spills involving volatile solvents are a unique class of spills. This is due to the fact that in addition to any damage and pollution directly caused by the spilled liquid, evaporation of a volatile solvent will contaminate the air in the vicinity with the gaseous form of the liquid. Because the vapors from most volatile solvents are flammable and toxic to some degree, the response to this type of spill must take the presence of the vapor into consideration.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is volatility?Volatility is the measure of how easily a liquid will evaporate and turn into a gas or vapor.
What are two important precautions which should be taken in response to an indoor volatile solvent spill?In response to a volatile solvent spill all sources of ignition should be removed and any outside windows should be opened to disperse and dilute the vapor.
What is the best way to respond to a small solvent spill?The best way to respond to a small solvent spill is to absorb it with static reducing pads or with granular absorbents designed for solvents. Avoid the use of paper toweling.
What is the best way to be prepared for a solvent spill?Containing and cleaning up a volatile solvent spill in a timely manner is vital to minimizing vapor generation, so have a prepared or purchased spill response kit available wherever there is the chance of a spill.
What is best way to deal with a large scale volatile liquid spill?Large scale spills require expertise and equipment to be properly handled. Report large spills to professional responders and evacuate the area of the spill.
