If you encounter a suspicious substance, you should?

Attempting to dispose of a suspicious substance yourself is unsafe and can lead to health hazards or environmental contamination. Authorities are trained to handle such situations safely and have access to proper equipment and protocols. Notify local public health officials or law enforcement immediately. Secure the substance by labeling it as “Hazardous Waste” without direct contact if possible. Authorities will manage its disposal according to regulatory guidelines, ensuring safety for all involved.
