Household product labels may feature four main categories of hazardous symbols: toxic, which indicates the product can cause harm if ingested or inhaled; corrosive, which signifies that the product can damage skin or materials; flammable, indicating that the product can easily catch fire; and reactive, which denotes that the product may explode or release harmful gases when mixed with certain substances. These symbols help consumers identify potential risks associated with the products they use.

The best places to look for the names of hazardous materials in a commercial product are: * on the product label * on the product's Material Safety Data Sheet (available from manufacturer or distributor, often on their website) The best places to look for names of hazardous materials unrelated to interest in a particular product are: * the regulations and web sites of regulatory agencies such as OSHA, EPA and the Department of Transportation (in the US) * printed reference materials in libraries, catalogued under toxicology * on-line MSDS collections of manufacturers, Universities, etc.
