dangerous goods are published in the Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) (Sales, 2013, p. 74). The DGR classifies dangerous goods into 9 categories or classes of hazardous materials (HAZMAT): Class 1 – Explosives; Class 2 – Gases; Class 3 - Flammable Liquids; Class 4 - Flammable Solids; Class 5 - Oxidizing Substances; Class 6 - Toxic and Infectious Substances; Class 7 - Radioactive Material; Class 8 – Corrosives; Class 9 - And Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods (IATA-Hazard Labels, n.d.).

These are the hazards that are made by humans to include transportation, manufacturing, and using chemicals, explosives, flammables, pesticides, and disease agents. Other manmade hazards are oil spills both on land and sea, debris from space, civil unrest, and domestic/international terrorism. Hazardous materials also known as HAZMAT can be in solid, liquid, or gaseous form. HAZMAT can affect surrounding communities through mishandling. Terrorism is another example of manmade hazard…

Stuff Matters is a book by Mark Miodownik where he explores the different origins and properties of materials that are in our daily lives. The materials around us are taken for granted, thus not many people can answer the question of why the materials look, feel, and act the way they do. A prime example is plastic. Polymers, or plastics, are considered one of the six classes of materials that has changed the world. Plastic is held with high status in the material world because of its extensive…

Mark Daniel Westbrook English III Ms. Arnold 17 December 2017 Biodiesel, Good or Bad? The topic of biodiesel versus diesel is a complicated subject but when dug into its easy to see the differences. Biodiesel has benefits and problems as well as diesel having benefits and problems, but you gotta see the bigger and smaller problems of each fuel. Some say biodiesel is better because it is better for the environment and has a cleaner engine, whereas diesel is cheaper and now already has…

An advantage of growing corn for use in ethanol production is that corn is a readily available crop in the United States, and there would no longer be a need to import materials to produce fuel. This would also benefit the agriculture industry by providing more jobs to corn planters. Going this route also would lessen the dependence on the Middle East and other countries for oil and fuel. Growing corn for use in ethanol production would also be a more energy efficient way, because there would be…

Combustion, a chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen and usually accompanied by the generation of heat and light in the form of flame. The hydrocarbons become harder to ignite as the molecules get bigger. Combustion of alkanes with bigger molecule will produce more soot as the percentage of carbon of the molecule is higher. The amount of soot produced depends on the percentage of carbon in a hydrocarbon molecule. Hexane and cyclohexene produced very small of light soot…

Freedom is a word that can be defined to every person in a different way. To all people though there is a way to feel freedom. To me, the definition of freedom is anyway a person wishes to express their emotions or feelings. It could be through playing an instrument, writing a story or simply talking. It’s not holding back from whatever it is that gives you the exhilarating and amazing feeling of being free. This goes along with the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which defines freedom as “the…

to preserve temperature for use in the next set. 14. Let the tubes sit in room temperature (25˚C) for 5 minutes. There should be a cloudy clump that forms in the ethanol layer. That is the DNA. 15. Taking the empty beaker that held the strained liquid, put it on the scale and press tare. Taking a boiling tube, slightly tilt it and extract the DNA with the spatula and into the beaker. 16. Repeat step 15 with the rest of the boiling tubes, tare the digital scale in between measurements. 17.…

Turned on its side, the tanker truck’s flammable material leaks out contaminating the median and the environment. With still the possibility of a fire, or worse an explosion, state patrol, Ohio department of transportation (DOT) officers, and other emergency personnel arrive on the scene, as traffic grinds to a halt. After surveying the situation, emergency officials state that, thankfully, this time the driver will be fine, and the hazmat spill of flammable material can be cleaned up;…

stone, because at least a small amount of lithium is found in every rock (The Element Lithium, 1). In fact, roughly 0.0007 of the crust of the earth is made up of lithium. At a refined state, it is a malleable, silver-gray metal, which is reactive, flammable, and easily corroded in exposure to moist air (Lithium: historical information, 1). Other characteristics of lithium create specific and productive uses for this element. Lithium has been, and still is, used for many purposes worldwide,…
