What should not be used on a spill that is a strong oxidizer?

Clay
Sawdust
Kitty litter
Activated charcoal

The correct answer is: Sawdust

Strong oxidizers are substances that can cause a chemical reaction that results in the loss of electrons, producing oxygen. Sawdust is organic and easily combustible, which could potentially create a fire or explosion when used on a spill of a strong oxidizer. Clay, kitty litter, and activated charcoal are all non-combustible materials and can safely be used to absorb a strong oxidizer spill. Therefore, sawdust should not be used on such spills.
