Definition Substances that pose a risk to health and/or the environment Hazards, examples and pictograms: Hazards, examples and icons - Explosive substances explode easily, even without the action of oxygen, at a certain temperature, in contact with other substances, upon shock or friction, e.g. ammunition, TNT, gunpowder - Very light and highly flammable substances catch fire very easily, even at normal ambient temperatures (21°C), e.g. petrol, acetone, white spirit - Oxidizing or fire-promoting substances substances and promote combustion, e.g. oxygen water/hydrogen peroxide, ozone, oxygen - Very toxic and toxic substances pose a significant risk of serious symptoms when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin, e.g. carbon monoxide, H2S, methanol, benzene - Harmful substances cause milder symptoms than toxic substances when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin, e.g. paint, varnish, wood protection products - Corrosive substances attack skin, eyes, lungs and mucous membranes on contact, e.g. acids and bases - Irritant substances have a more limited effect than caustic products, they can cause inflammation on contact with the skin, eyes, lungs and mucous membranes, e.g. dilute or weak acids and bases, many solvents, polyester mastic. release oxygen and therefore react violently with other (flammable)
