What are the top 5 most dangerous chemicals?

Answer 1

I know that the #1 chemical produced worldwide is Sulfuric Acid, or H2SO4, at 79 billion pounds. You'll have to find the rest. Oh, and don't let your Chem 105 teacher know what your doing. See you in class!

Answer 2

Sodium Fluoride is one of the Industrial chemicals produced by the Aluminum industry and the phosphate mining industry.

Sodium Fluoride is considered highly toxic in large concentrations, so 100mg would kill you if not diluted.

it is ranked 3.2 out of 4 in health risk

it is colorless and odorless

it is not combustible nor flammable.

even at small doses (4ppm) would be enough to give you cancer

4milligrams in 4 liters of water is 4ppm.

1. Air Fresheners - Don't let the commercials fool you. Most air fresheners interfere with your ability to smell by disabling your nasal passages with an oil film or a nerve-deadening agent. Common chemicals in air fresheners include formaldehyde (a highly toxic known carcinogen) and phenol (which can cause hives, convulsions, circulatory collapse, coma, and even death).
2. Ammonia is a volatile chemical that can damage your eyes, respiratory tract, and skin.
3. Bleach is a strong corrosive that can damage the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. NEVER mix bleach with ammonia, as the fumes can be deadly.
4. Carpet and Upholstery Shampoos generally contain highly toxic substances like perchlorethylene (a known carcinogen that damages the liver, kidneys, and nervous system) and ammonium hydroxide (a corrosive that irritates eyes, skin, and respiratory passages).
5. Dishwasher Detergents - Most of them contain highly concentrated chlorine, which is the #1 cause of child poisonings.
6. Drain Cleaners commonly include lye (which can burn skin and eyes, and the esophagus and stomach if ingested), hydrochloric acid (a corrosive eye and skin irritant that damages kidneys, liver, and digestive tract), or tricholoroethane (eye and skin irritant and nervous system depressant).
7. Furniture Polish is highly flammable and can cause skin and lung cancer. It often contains phenol as well as nitrobenzene, which is an extremely toxic chemical that's easily absorbed through the skin.
8. Mold and Mildew Cleaners often contain sodium hypochlorite (a corrosive which can lead to fluid in the lungs) and formaldehyde (a highly toxic, known carcinogen). To clean mold and mildew safely - and to prevent it from coming back - use M-1 House Wash and M-1 Sure Cote Sealant.
9. Oven Cleaner contains lye (sodium hydroxide). Lye is often used to dissolve roadkill dumped in landfills; that can't be healthy.
10. Antibacterial Cleaners often contain triclosan, which is absorbed through the skin and linked to liver damage. Antibacterial soaps may also contribute to the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
11. Laundry Room Products may contain sodium or calcium hypocrite (a highly corrosive agent that can irritate the skin and eyes), hypochlorite bleach (a corrosive that can burn the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract). If exposed to other chemicals, hypochlorite bleach may form chlorine fumes that could be fatal.
12. Toilet Bowl Cleaners may contain hydrochloric acid or hypochlorite bleach.

Answer 4

Some of the most dangerous chemicals include sarin, a nerve agent; polonium-210, a highly radioactive substance; botulinum toxin, which causes botulism; ricin, a potent plant toxin; and chlorine gas, a highly toxic chemical warfare agent. These chemicals are extremely hazardous and can have severe health effects even in small amounts.
