Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?
Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood, body fluids and germs, while chemical cleanup deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific chemical before hiring it.
How do biological hazards differ from chemical hazards?
Biological hazards come from living things, such as bacteria, viruses and body fluids. Chemical hazards come from substances like solvents, acids, fuels and pesticides. They need different gear, products and disposal, and some jobs involve both.
Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?

What should I do first after a chemical spill?
Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.
