Peat is not regulated as a hazardous material in transportation. However, when dry it can burn energetically, and peat fires, like forest fires, can be very destructive of the local environment.
The stages of peat formation are plant material accumulation, peat accumulation, and then burial and compaction over time. Initially, plant material accumulates in a waterlogged environment, leading to the formation of peat. As more material accumulates, it becomes compacted and eventually buried, starting the process of coal formation.
Peat, from the Irish peat bogs. (Peat is decayed organic material). In Ireland people call it turf.
Hazardous material ceases to be hazardous when it is destroyed, sufficiently diluted in nonhazardous material, it is chemically changed into a nonhazardous material or incorporated into an object that immobilizes it and renders it unable to be hazardous.
which hazardous material can enter the body
yes
a. a hazardous material is exposed to fire.
peat
Peat wax is a hard, waxy material that comes from peat. It is used to prepare molds. It may also be found in some plastics.
Polystyrene is not a hazardous material (dangerous good) in transportation. However, in circumstances where a fire might be a problem, polystyrene, which can readily and rapidly burn, can be a very hazardous material.
When receiving a shipment of hazardous materials, the first thing to do is to determine the nature of the hazardous material and then inspect it to ensure there are no leaks.
yes, it is
