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.
yes
which hazardous material can enter the body
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.
a. a hazardous material is exposed to fire.
peat
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.
Yes, peat is derived from partially decomposed plant material that accumulates in waterlogged conditions over long periods of time. This material comes from decaying vegetation such as mosses, grasses, and shrubs.
Over time, the mosses become compressed into layers and form a blackish-brown material, which is called peat. (:
