In general, chemical substances have very different effects on human health, from temporary discomfort to permanent damage, depending on how much they are taken into the body and how effective the chemical is.
Hazardous chemicals can have one or more of the features that are oxidizing, easily flammable, explosive, toxic or very toxic, harmful, allergic, corrosive, irritating, carcinogenic, mutagen and dangerous for the environment. Businesses have to prevent or minimize the exposure of employees to the negative effects of these substances in studies related to chemical substances. Hazardous concentrations of chemical substances and chemically unstable substances must be prevented from reaching dangerous levels in working environments.
The exposure limits of employees to chemical substances have been determined in the relevant international standards. When using chemicals, this reference value is used to measure and evaluate the maximum amount of chemical substances in the air. Meanwhile, the wastes of some chemical substances are very dangerous for both the environment and human health. Depending on the type and amount of chemical waste, risks to human health and the environment should be eliminated or minimized by businesses.
