Unfortunately there are different ways that each different types of material does this and as there are many different types of hazardous materials, I don't have space here to list them.
However here are a few:
- Mercury vapor - inhaled to lungs and absorbed into the blood there
- mercury liquid - usually does not enter blood to detectable levels
- radon gas - inhaled to lungs and decays to solid elements, deposits in lungs and does not enter blood
- pesticides - generally absorbed through the skin then into the blood
- gasoline, kerosene, etc. - generally not absorbed into blood, the hazard here is mostly fire
- carbon monoxide - inhaled to lungs and absorbed into the blood there
- sulphuric acid, nitric acid, lye, etc. - chemically burns tissues, does not get a chance to enter blood
- cyanide - can enter body by many ways; inhalation, ingestion, skin contact
- mustard gas - blisters any tissue it contacts (e.g. skin, lungs, nose and throat, genitals) and usually does not enter blood to significant levels
- nerve gasses - see pesticides
- etc.

What materials is used for respiration and is taken in from the air?

Is it possible for workplace hazardous materials chemicals to be absorbed through the skin and travel through the bloodstream to cause damage somewhere else in the body?

Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream through a process called?

What is eliminating waste?
Is when the materials move through the large intestine, water is absorbed into the bloodstream. The material is then moved from the large intestine into the rectum where waste materials are compressed into a solid and finally eliminated from the body through the anus.
