When hazardous materials are transported by air, they must comply with strict regulations set by organizations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These regulations dictate proper labeling, packaging, and documentation to ensure safety and prevent accidents. Additionally, only specially trained personnel are allowed to handle and transport these materials, and airlines must be informed about the nature of the cargo to take necessary precautions. Failure to adhere to these guidelines can result in severe penalties and risks to public safety.
