The testing of chemicals/wastes to establish the nature of their hazard capacity/threat in accordance with regulatory requirements falls into four categories (1) reactivity, (2) ignitability/flammability, (3) corrosivity, and (4) EP toxicity. Commercial chemical products, specific wastes, and wastes from specific processes may be listed as hazardous wastes because they are known to present toxic hazards in the manner of the tests above and/or are known to present serious toxic hazards to mammals/humans. In the discussion to follow, various chemical groups will be examined primarily in the context of reactivity, ignitability, and corrosivity. [Pg.164]

Caution Potassium is highly reactive. Although it may be handled safely in air if it is covered with a hydrocarbon solvent such as heptane or mineral oil, it will spark and ignite flammable organic vapors on contact with water. The magnesium formed in this reaction is highly reactive and pyrophoric (Note 1). Accordingly, Parts C and D of this procedure should be carried out behind a safety shield. [Pg.179]

Striking of a smear or thin coating of alloy on rusty steel with a hammer. The glancing impact of stainless steel, mild steel, brass, copper-beryllium bronze, aluminium copper and zinc onto aluminium smears on rusty steel can initiate a thermite reaction of sufficient thermal energy to ignite flammable gas/vapour-air atmosphere or dust clouds.

Open flame may ignite flammable chemicals, loose clothing, or hair alcohol, kerosene, potassium permanganate, hair, clothing Tie back hair. Avoid wearing loose clothing. Avoid open flames when using flammable chemicals. Be aware of locations of fire safety equipment. Notify your teacher immediately. Use fire safety equipment if applicable. [Pg.223]

The first examples of microwave-induced reactions were cycloadditions and pericyc-lic reactions performed under pressure, because of the use of domestic ovens, to avoid the risk of igniting flammable solvents (Scheme 9.1) [11,12]. [Pg.296]

Fire hazard is a combination of several properties, including ignitability, flammability, flame spread, amount of heat released, rate of heat release, smoke obscuration and smoke toxicity. [Pg.462]

Fire safety in a particular scenario is improved by decreasing the corresponding level of fire risk or of fire hazard. Technical studies will, more commonly, address fire hazard assessment. Fire hazard is the result of a combination of several fire properties, including ignitability, flammability, flame spread, amount of heat released, rate of heat release, smoke obscuration and smoke toxicity. [Pg.475]

Fire hazard is associated with a variety of properties of a product in a particular scenario [1]. It is determined by a combination of factors, including product ignitability, flammability, amount of heat release on burning, rate at which this heat is released, flame spread, smoke production and smoke toxicity.
