A spill of any hazardous substance on your site can pollute the environment if it is not dealt with properly. A spill outdoors may run into the stormwater system and pollute the nearest stream, river, beach or groundwater - unless you know what to do and do it immediately.
Even seemingly harmless substances like sugar or milk are lethal to stream or sea life. Bio-degradable substances like foodstuffs and cleaning agents as well as many other every day hazardous substances like petrol can harm our environment.
