Chapter 13:Mission specific product control Flashcards
______actions involving spills are generally defensive in nature.
Control
Defensive spell control tactics they can find hazardous materials include the following
Absorption, adsorption, blanketing/covering, Dam, Dike, diversion, and retention Vapor suppression
Spill control is not restricted to controlling liquids. Responders may also need to confine dust, vapors, and gases with the following.
Protective covering consisting of a fine spray of water A layer of earth Plastic sheets Salvage covers Foam blankets on liquids
Rather than attempting to confine the dispersion, some defensive spill control tactics are diluting the concentration or changing its physical and or chemical properties in that reducing the amount of harm the material causes. These tactics include the following.
Vapor dispersion Ventilation Dispersion Dilution Dissolution Neutralization
________, like a sponge soaking up water, soaks up or retains a liquid hazardous material in some other material.
Absorption
Common absorbents use at a hazmat incident include?
Sawdust Clays Charcoal Polyolefin-type fibers Specially designed absorbent pads, pillows, booms and socks
What is the difference between absorption in adsorption?
Adsorption Differs from absorption in that the molecules of the liquid hazardous materials physically adhere to the adsorbent material rather than being absorbed into it’s in spaces.
For blanketing or covering solids, such as powders and does the following tools are used.
Tarps
Plastic sheeting
Salvage covers
Other the materials including foam
Under what circumstances might blanketing or covering be used?
Personnel perform blanketing or covering to prevent dispersion of hazardous materials.
What is performed to confine or control a hazardous material?
Damming, Dyking, diverting, and retaining
What reduces the omissions of Vapers at a hazmat incident?
Vapor suppression
What directs or influences the course of airborne hazardous materials?
Vaper dispersion
What is performed to control air movement using natural or mechanical means?
Ventilation
What involves breaking up or dispersing a hazardous material that has built on a solid or liquid surface?
Dispersion
What is the application of water to a water soluble material to reduce the hazard?
Dilution
