It can be sharp, which makes it hazardous, so yes it can be hazardous. Glass is only dangerous if it is broken, because the pieces tend to be extremely sharp. Keep your kids away from broken glass to avoid any glass being stabbed in their heel.... I play with glass (not like hot potatoe or anything) but i use it for cooking sometimes and i have never ever cut my self with out breaking it. My really genius friend said that they found diamonds on the side of the road in out street and they picked it up and cut them selves. I smashed it with my tennis shoe and i said that it was glass because diamonds can't break by being stepped on...
Glass is not a hazardous material. It is compressed, melted sand. You can recycle it or throw it away, just be kind to the sanitation workers and wrap broken glass in paper.
To safely dispose of broken glass and hazardous waste materials, follow these steps: Wear gloves and use a broom and dustpan to carefully clean up the broken glass. Place the glass in a sturdy container, such as a cardboard box or plastic container, and seal it securely. Label the container as "broken glass" or "hazardous waste" to alert others. Contact your local waste management facility or recycling center for guidance on proper disposal methods. Do not mix hazardous materials with regular trash and never dispose of them in the recycling bin.
Mercury in glass thermometers pose a greater health hazard if broken, as mercury is a toxic substance that can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. Alcohol in glass thermometers are considered less hazardous as alcohol is not as toxic as mercury. It is still important to clean up any broken thermometer carefully to avoid injury.
No. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material
A window etch kit would include acid, a corrosive material, to etch the glass.
Yes, glass is considered a solid material because it has a definite shape and volume, and its particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement.
Glass is typically used to replace a broken window pane.
Glass is a common material that is transparent and fragile. It allows light to pass through while being brittle and easily broken when subjected to force.
When glass breaks, it is considered a physical change rather than a chemical change. This is because the composition of the glass remains the same; only its shape and structure change. In a physical change, the material's properties may alter, but no new substances are formed, which is the case with broken glass.
By whom has the glass been broken?
Glass is more brittle than plasticine. Plasticine is a soft, flexible material that can be easily manipulated and shaped, whereas glass is a hard, rigid material that shatters into sharp pieces when broken.
A sharp piece of broken glass is commonly referred to as a shard. Shards can vary in size and shape, and they are typically dangerous due to their sharp edges, which can cause cuts or injuries. In broader terms, any broken fragment of glass can be considered a glass shard.
