SFFD info:

Disposal (~5lb/day free w/ proof of SF residence): http://www.norcalwaste.com/

1. Spill kit: Sawdust for first pass

2. Treat with neutralization agents:
Calcium sulfide
Sodium thiosulphate wash

3. Dilute and wash repeatedly, consider all materials used
contaminated & dispose per above

Turns out that SFFD does *not* have a vapor analyzer, and only does
mitigation assistance; they punt to private cleanup companies for
serious shit (example given: breakage of doctor's blood pressure
machine w/ exposure of several teaspoons of mercury).

So... can we get hold of those neutralization agents?
