A. Hazardous and Toxic Chemicals 1.

Hazardous Chemicals Types of hazardous chemicals can be seen from the table listed paad packaging. From these data, the level of chemical hazards can be identified and mitigation efforts should be made for those who use these materials. Sometimes there are two or three hazards on one type of chemicals, it means the vigilance of those who work with these materials should be further improved. Examples of volatile chemicals are a group of oxidizing materials such as perchlorate, permanganate, nitrate, and so on. These materials when reacting with organic materials can produce an explosion. It is therefore important to pay attention to the labels of chemicals to be used. Hazard symbols can be seen on the labels of bottles of chemicals. To simplify know hazardous chemicals, the following hazard symbols are included in beside the discussion. The following are examples of some of the hazardous chemical symbol. Symbol Description T: Toxic, T +: vey toxic criteria: - Harmful to health if inhaled, swallowed or in contact with skin, and also can be deadly - Carcinogenic,, mutagenic, teratogenic, and reproduction-toxic effects prevention: - Avoid contact with human body - Review the rules - If unwell, seek treatment immediately Examples: arsenic trichloride, mercury chloride E: Explosive criteria: - Will the exothermic reaction without oxygen - Flash point 60 C - 93.4 C above atu prevention: - Avoid impact, friction, sparks and heat Example: ammonium nitrate, nitrocellulose.
