hazardous
Toxic, flammable, corrosive, reactive, and radioactive wastes encompass various hazardous materials. Toxic wastes can harm human health and the environment, while flammable wastes pose fire risks. Corrosive wastes can damage materials and living tissues, and reactive wastes may undergo hazardous chemical reactions. Radioactive wastes emit ionizing radiation, requiring specialized handling and disposal methods to protect public safety and the environment.
The DOT system of placards and labels classifies hazardous materials according to their type of hazard, i.e. radioactive, corrosive, flammable liquid, etc.
1. Toxic - a picture of a scull 2. Flammable - a picture of a flame 3. Corrosive - two test tubes with liquid spilling on an hand and a bench 4. Radioactive - a picture of the nuclear symbol
Yes, some liquids can be both corrosive and flammable. For example, certain organic solvents, like acetic acid or some alcohols, can be corrosive to materials such as metals and skin while also having low flash points that make them flammable. These properties can pose significant risks in handling and storage. Proper safety measures are essential when working with such substances.
Simple: a liquid which is flammable.
If a liquid is flammable it will burn. Flammable means can catch on fire.
The most flammable liquid is diethyl ether.
