The immediate response to a chemical plant releasing toxic chemicals into a water source would be to evacuate the area and contain the spill by sealing off the affected water source and preventing contamination of other water sources. Additionally, personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment when cleaning up the spill and conduct testing of impacted wildlife or environmental samples. If possible, an emergency repair operation should also be organized with qualified personnel, to address leaks and prevent additional damage. The long term response would likely include an investigation into what causes led to the accidental release in order determine further countermeasures that can be taken such as better containment procedures or more frequent inspections of chemical stores.
