In-Reply-To


There would appear to be agreement that how big a spill must be before one calls for help depends on (1) the size of the spill and (2) the nature of the material spilled and, presumably, the setting. Would it not seem reasonable to ask that the SDSs include this information-or advice-for (a) laboratory settings(i) research and (ii) teaching and (b) industrial settings?

 

Thank you,

 

Ben
