How does shooting down that satellite neutralize its threat?

If it's full of toxic chemicals, won't shooting it only cause the debris and toxic liquids to spread out across a larger radius?|||The explosion and heat would decompose those chemical.





Of course, the conspiracy theories would never end.





Are we really hitting a satellite? It may be an asteriod with some unknown chemical. That chemical is too close to be toxic. This explained the extinction of dinosaur by an asteriod with toxic chemical.|||it's fuel, once it's burned (exploded) it isn't toxic





or not toxic enough to tell people about it anyway|||The explosion destroys the toxic chemicals and the tanks they are stored in.





Those not destroyed disperse into space as individual atoms and are spread out to indiscernable amounts to remix with the atmosphere.|||When something falls to Earth from space, friction with the atmosphere causes it to heat up. Small pieces burn up before they get to Earth. Large pieces can make it all the way down without burning totally. If it gets blown up into small pieces, most of them will burn before they hit the ground. In addition, the major concern is the hydrazine on board. Hydrazine is one of the components of the fuel the satellite uses for manoeuvring. If the satellite is broken up, the hydrazine would totally burn up. If the satellite is allowed to fall intact, the parts that contain hydrazine might be intact when hit hits the ground, which would result in hydrazine being released at ground level. It is very toxic.
