Remove spilled electrolyte<br />
immediately by flushing with<br />
fresh water. Spray the contaminated<br />
area with Litmus solution<br />
(Refer to <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691, Chapter<br />
7). Neutralize the area by sponging<br />
or spraying with sodium<br />
bicarbonate solution. Apply<br />
generously until bubbling stops<br />
and the Litmus solution turns<br />
blue. Let it stay on the surface<br />
for 5 minutes, but do not allow<br />
to dry. Brush with a fiber bristle<br />
brush, then flush with fresh<br />
water. Reapply the Litmus solution<br />
to determine if all electrolyte<br />
has been neutralized.<br />
Retreat the area as required and<br />
rinse. Dry with clean wiping<br />
clothes. Keep the cell vents open<br />
but do not allow an solutions to<br />
enter the cells. Preserve compartment<br />
