Otay Mesa West Toxic Waste Questions, Answered
What are the health risks of chemical exposure?
Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
What chemicals can toxic waste cleanup crews remove?
Common ones are paints, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning products, batteries and mercury. Crews also remove unlabeled containers once the contents are identified. Ask the team what it can handle for your site.
Can chemicals be left in a garage or shed?
Old or leaking products are a risk. Heat, humidity and age can damage containers, and fumes can build up. If containers are leaking, damaged or unlabeled, have a cleanup team remove them.
Does insurance cover chemical spills?
It depends on the policy. Some cover sudden spills, and many exclude pollution or long-term leaks. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.
What if a spill reaches soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
Who pays for chemical cleanup in California?
The person or business that caused a spill is often responsible, and owners usually carry the cost on their own property. In a rental, the lease and local law decide. Some teams offer payment plans.
