A 'hazardous chemical' is any chemical that is capable of creating a hazard by virtue of its chemical or physical properties or through interaction with another chemical or environmental condition.

In the world of transportation in the US, a hazardous chemical is defined as anything that has been determined by the Secretary of Transportation, or his designee, to be cabale of creating an unacceptable hazard in the normal course of transportation in commerce, or an a transportation upset that could reasonably be anticipated.
