Corrosion control carcinogenicity

Cover the control of substances classified as very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive, sensitizing or irritant under the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994 (as amended) and to substances which have MELs or OESs. Also other substances that have chronic or delayed effects and biological agents. Special provisions are included for carcinogens. 

Phenols are carcinogenic [39-42] and mutagenic thus affect the central nervous system. Long term contact to phenol may even paralyze the body and damage liver, kidneys [41] and heart [43]. Phenol and its vapour are corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract [44], Renal failure and pulmonary toxicity has been reported with overdose of 89% injectable phenol solution [45]. According to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) the discharge limit of phenol in inland water should be lower than 1 mg/1 [46],... 

Chemical disinfectants that can be used as space decontaminants include formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde vapor, ethylene oxide, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and methyl bromide. When these are used in closed systems and under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, excellent disinfection can be obtained. Residues from ethylene oxide must be removed by aeration ethylene oxide is convenient to use, versatile, and noncorrosive, but it is explosive and extremely toxic and, being a carcinogen, is a potential health hazard. Peracetic acid is corrosive for metals and rubber.

The delay time change, or aging, is caused by the corrosion of the metallic fuels. The rate of corrosion is increased by the presence of moisture. In general the burn time of the delay is adjusted within stated limits by controlling the percentage of fuel in the composition. The chromate oxidizers may be carcinogenic.
