Chemical hazard

A chemical hazard is any substance that can cause harm to people. Chemicals of all kinds are stored in our homes and can result in serious injuries if not properly handled. Household items such as bleach can result in harmful chlorine gas or hydrochloric acid.
     
 

  

     A federal law called the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act gives us the right to know about toxic chemicals being released into the environment.

     We can view this information on the quantities of toxic chemicals at the Web site www.epa.gov/tri. As I obtained these information from website of Oak Ridge, the way I know is entering the Oak Ridge zip code "37831" to view those information.

     Nowadays, not all the industries make things suitable for human. We have the responsibility to make sure those dangerous things cannot endanger us.
