Document Summary

Chemical agents hazards created by one or more chemicals. Biohazard hazard created by exposure to biological material. Ambient all-encompassing condition associated with a given environment. Composite of inputs from sources all around us. Toxicity ability to cause injury to human biological tissue. Aerosols airborne respirable contaminants, such a liquid droplets or solid particulate, dispersed in air, that are for fine enough particle size (0. 01 to 100 micrometres) to remain suspended for a time. Hazards created by one or more chemicals. More than 70,000 chemicals in use in north america and about 800 new ones introduced every year. No toxicity data available for about 80% of commercially used chemicals. Physiological reactions to low-level chemical exposures in the environment: headaches, dry nasal passages, and nausea. Toxicology scientific study of poisons; study of chemical-related occupational illness. Synergistic effects occur when the result of 2 factors taken together is greater than the sum of the 2.
