How the ozone layer forms and why is it important?
The ozone layer is present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere. It is important as it protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun that cause several health hazards including skin cancer!
Are there greater ionizing or non-ionizing industrial hazards in the US?
The use of ionizing radiation in the American workplace has been substantially reduced during the last 30-40 years. As a result of that reduction, have the hazards of non-ionizing radiation used in the workplace become greater than the remaining hazards of ionizing radiation still in use? There are no readily accessible studies to tell us whether or not that has happened, and mostly it does not matter. The important thing is to deal correctly with all the radiation hazards, ionizing and non-ionizing, that are present in each particular workplace.

How many hazards had happen in the ozone?
Hazards are a common in ozone. CFC's keep destroying ozone.
What are the welding safety hazards?
Safety hazards connected with welding include heat, bright light, ultraviolet radiation and fire, as well as inhalation of toxic metal fumes.

What is chemical hazards and radio-chemical hazards?
Chemical hazards is when there are chemical that are releasing toxic properties in the environment. Radio chemical hazards are when the chemicals release radiation.

What hazards are associated with the use of spectrum tubes?
Several of the salt solutions are toxic. Handling electrical apparatus presents a potential hazard. Some ultraviolet radiation may be emitted from emission tubes. Handling hot spectrum tubes immediately after the power is turned off can lead to burns.

What are hazards of being a veterinarians?
The three biggest hazards that veterinarians contend with are slips/falls, animal bites and scratches and accidental needle sticks. Other hazards can include radiation exposure and thermal exposure (weather-related, usually).
What are example of industrial hazards?
Industrial hazards are hazards which occur when one strives for commercial gain in quick time. There are many classifications that can be used to group industrial hazards. I will just give a few examples of these hazards 1. chemical hazards: solids such as heavy metals i.e lead and asbestos, liquids such as acids and gases such benzene and sulphur (IV) oxide 2. Mechanical hazards such as unguarded machines 3. Biological hazards such as bacteria, insects and viruses 4. Physical hazards such as radiation, magnetic fields, pressure 5. Ergonomic hazards such as the improper setup of a workstation 6. Psychological hazards such as stress and violence 7. Safety hazards such as slipping, improper machine guarding and equipment malfunctions 8. Technological hazards such as industrial pollution, nuclear radiation, toxic wastes and dam failures 9. Environmental hazards 10. Electrical hazards 11. Fire hazards I have tried as much to give the knowledge I know so if any has additional information they can add to the above
