Why focus on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes?
• Global production of chemicals has increased from 1M
tons in 1930 to 400M at present
• More than 20M known substances
• About 100,000 different substances registered in EU and
10,000 are marketed in quantities or volumes >10T
• Certain chemicals have caused
– Serious damages to human and the environment e.g. asbestos,
benzene, trichloroethane (TCA), trichloroethylene (TCE), DDT
– Incidence of some diseases has increased
– Some are persistent and becomes endocrine disruptor

Symbols Accompanying the Label
Any substance or article 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.

Symbols Accompanying the Label
• Liquidany liquid having a flash point of not more than 60oC, closed-cup test, or 65.6oC, open-cup test.
Flammable (Ignitable)
• Solidany of the following three types of materials: wetted explosives that when dry are explosives; self-reactive materials that are liable to undergo, at normal or elevated temperatures, a strongly exothermal decomposition caused by excessively high transport temperatures or contamination; or readily combustible solids that may cause a fire through friction, show a burning rate faster than 2.2 mm per second, or be ignited and react over the whole length of a sample in 10 minutes or less.
• Pyrophoric materials (solid or liquid) that, even in small quantities and without an external ignition source, can ignite within five minutes after coming in contact with air; or self-heating materials that, when in contact with air and without an energy supply, are liable to combustion.
