Land use planning can minimize risk in a number of ways such as:

i. Prohibiting development in high-risk areas through zoning and overlay

controls; ii. Limiting the types of development in high to moderate risk areas for recreation or other forms of public use reducing the potential impacts of

natural hazard events; and iii. Applying appropriate development controls in moderate and lower risk

VIII Annexure: Leak Detection, Neutralization and Disposal

Leak Detection Neutralization and Disposal Chlorine Emergency disposal of chlorine is done b y absorbing To detect the chlorine leak an ammonia it in the solution of caustic soda, soda ash or hydrated spray or swab is used. Chlorine gives white lime slurry. Chlorine cannot be vented off as it is toxic dense fumes of ammonium chlorine is gas. Cylinder of any part of cylinder should not be greenish yellow gas with pungent and immersed in the tank holding caustic or other irritating odour. solutions. Don’t use rubber hose or polyethylene pipe connecting for neutralizing chlorine gas. Do not pour water on the leak. Ammonia Ammonia leak can be detected easily At it is toxic gas it cannot be vented to atmosphere. due to its specific pungent odour. The Ammonia leakage can be absorbed in water in a exact location of leak can be find out suitably designed system, as its solubility in water is by hydrochloric acid swab in suspected very high. Mild steel is used as material of region. This will give white vapours of construction. ammonium chloride. Another method used in the detection of ammonium leak is by the use of sulphur dioxide gas, which also forms white fog or cloud in contact with ammonium.

Sulphur Dioxide Sulphur dioxide leak can be detected by Sulphur dioxide leak can be absorbed in caustic odour as it has characteristic odour. But the solution. For this purpose scrubber should be exact location of the leak can be found out preferably fabricated of polypropylene backed by FRP. by ammonia vapours from a swab or Do not use water on the leak. squeeze bottle. Sulphur dioxide will produce dense white fumes with ammonia vapours. Leak may also be detected by applying soap solution. Soap solution in case of leakage will give bubbles. Bromine Bromine spillage can be find out as it has As bromine is toxic and fuming liquid, it can’t be intensely irritating odour. vented to atmosphere. Water should not be directly Bromine leak can be detected by using poured over the spillage with mud or earth and mop up ammonia swab or spray. Bromine gives with plenty of water. white dense fumes with ammonia solution. Carbon Monoxide As the gas inflammable, flame should not Leaking gas can be vented slowly to air in a safe open be used to detect the leak. area or should be burnt off in a suitable gas burner. Carbon monoxide leak can be detected with soap solution, which gives bubbles around leaking area. Palledour chloride paper gets darkened in contact with carbon monoxide. Ethylene Oxide As the gas is extremely flammable, all the ignition Ethylene oxide leak can be detected by sources should be shut off. Leaking gas can be slowly using soap solution. Leak will produce vented off in a safe and open area. Put water spray to bubble with soap solution. cool down, if necessary. The gas can be burnt off in a suitably designed burner.

Ethyl Alcohol Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Mop up with Ethyl alcohol leak can be detected by its plenty of water and run to waste diluting greatly with characteristic smell. running water. Ventilate area well to evaporate remaining liquid and disposal vapours. Caustic Soda Detect the leak of caustic soda with wet Caustic soda should be scrubbed in water scrubber litmus paper caustic will change the colour made of MS or neutralize it with dilute HCl acid. of the paper from red to blue. Sulphuric Acid Sulphuric acid should be scrubbed in lime or caustic or Detect the leakage of oleum with its sharp water scrubber made up of MSRL or PVC / FRP. Do penetrating odour. Leakage can also be not put water directly on the leak. Content the leak by detected by using wet blue litmus which mixing it with earth / sand and lime sludge slowly. when coming in contact turns red. Neutralize by pouring water and dilute alkali. Hydrochloric Acid Hydrochloric acid should be scrubbed in lime or Detect the leak with its sharp pungent caustic or water scrubber made of MSRL. Do not put odour. Leak can also be detected by using water directly on the leak. Content the leak by mixing wet litmus paper. Hydrochloric aicd will it with earth / sand and lime sludge. Slowly nuetralize change the colour of the paper from blue to by pouring water and dilute alkali. red. Nitric Acid Nitrict acid should be scrubbed in lime or caustic or Detect the leak of nitric acid with wet water scrubber made of MS or SS. Do not put water on litmus paper. Nitrict acid will change the the leak. Content the leakage by mixing it with earth / colour of the paper from blue to red. sand and lime sludge. Slowly neutralize by pouring water or dilute alkali. Phosphoric Acid Spread soda ash liberally over the spillage and mop up Detect the leak of phosphoric acid with wet cautiously with plenty of water.
