  2. Hydroxyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl_radical

    The hydroxyl radical has a very short in vivo half-life of approximately 10 −9 seconds and a high reactivity. [5] This makes it a very dangerous compound to the organism. [6] [7] Unlike superoxide, which can be detoxified by superoxide dismutase, the hydroxyl radical cannot be eliminated by an enzymatic reaction.

  3. Electrical equipment in hazardous areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_equipment_in...

    A light switch may cause a small, harmless spark when switched on or off. In an ordinary household this is of no concern, but if a flammable atmosphere is present, the arc might start an explosion. In many industrial, commercial, and scientific settings, the presence of such an atmosphere is a common, or at least commonly possible, occurrence.

  4. Template:Hazardous Material Placards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Hazardous...

    Explosive Dangerous Goods have compatibility group letters assigned to facilitate segregation during transport. The letters used range from A to S excluding the letters I, M, O, P, Q and R. The example above shows an explosive with a compatibility group "A" (shown as 1.1A).

  5. Safety data sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_data_sheet

    An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosives_shipping...

    Under the UN Dangerous Goods classification, explosive hazard Divisions are awarded using the UN Manual of Criteria and Tests, by following the process flow chart '10.3 Procedure for assignment to a division of the class of explosives' and conducting the appropriate tests either UN series 5, series 6, or series 7 tests. [3]

  7. HAZMAT Class 1 Explosives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAZMAT_Class_1_Explosives

    US Army trucks laden with ammunition, displaying a Class 1.1D Explosives placard on the front.. Hazmat Class 1 are explosive materials which are any substance or article, including a device, which is designed to function by explosion or which, by chemical reaction within itself is able to function in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosion.

  8. Hydrogen safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_safety

    Hydrogen possesses the NFPA 704's highest rating of four on the flammability scale because it is flammable when mixed even in small amounts with ordinary air. Ignition can occur at a volumetric ratio of hydrogen to air as low as 4% due to the oxygen in the air and the simplicity and chemical properties of the reaction.

  9. Hypoxic air technology for fire prevention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxic_air_technology_for...

    Air with low oxygen concentration is produced by hypoxic air generators, also known as air splitting units. There are three different types of hypoxic air generators: membrane-based, PSA-based, and VSA-based. VSA-based hypoxic air generators usually have a lower energy consumption compared to PSA-based and membrane-based generators.
