Which of the following is a recommended method to absorb spills that have non-toxic vapors?

• A. Use paper towels
• B. Use a spill pillow to absorb liquids with non-toxic vapors
• C. Use a metal tray
• D. Use a towel

Answer: (B)

Absorbing spills efficiently relies on using an absorbent material that can quickly soak up liquid and help contain any vapors. A spill pillow is designed for this purpose: it soaks up the liquid into its absorbent core and helps trap and limit vapor release, making cleanup safer and easier. Paper towels or towels can soak up some liquid but aren’t as effective for larger spills and can leave residue or release vapors. A metal tray doesn’t absorb at all; it only holds liquid on the surface and doesn’t reduce vapor exposure. So, using a spill pillow provides both absorption and containment for spills with non-toxic vapors.
