The UN numbers range from UN0001 to about UN3600 and are assigned by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. UN 0001 to 0600 [ edit ]
For example, the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations provides a description of compatibility groups. 1.1 Explosives with a mass explosion hazard Ex: TNT, dynamite, nitroglycerine. 1.2 Explosives with a severe projection hazard. 1.3 Explosives with a fire, blast or projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.
There are many codes and standards regarding hydrogen safety in storage, transport, and use. These range from federal regulations, [3] ANSI/AIAA, [4] NFPA, [5] and ISO [6] standards. The Canadian Hydrogen Safety Program concluded that hydrogen fueling is as safe as, or safer than, compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling, [7]
Plastics moulding compound in dough, sheet or extruded rope form evolving flammable vapour UN 3315: 6.1: Chemical sample, toxic UN 3316: 9: Chemical kit or First Aid kit containing dangerous goods UN 3317: 4.1: 2-Amino-4,6-dinitrophenol, wetted, with not less than 20% water by mass UN 3318: 2.3
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.

The GHS transport pictograms are the same as those recommended in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, widely implemented in national regulations such as the U.S. Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. 5101–5128) and D.O.T. regulations at 49 C.F.R. 100–185.
Dusts also have upper and lower explosion limits, though the upper limits are hard to measure and of little practical importance. Lower flammability limits for many organic materials are in the range of 10–50 g/m 3, which is much higher than the limits set for health reasons, as is the case for the LEL of many gases and vapours. Dust clouds ...
In atmospheric chemistry, the most common scavenger is the hydroxyl radical, a short-lived radical produced photolytically in the atmosphere. It is the most important oxidant for carbon monoxide, methane and other hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and most of other contaminants, removing them from the atmosphere.
