Physical Properties of Hazardous Substances
Chemical compounds possess inherent properties that determine the type and degree of hazard they represent.
What is a Hazardous Substance?
The boiling point is the temperature at which liquid changes to a vapor, that is, it is the temperature where the pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure.
- The boiling point is important because it can dictate the route of entry.
- For liquids with a high boiling point, the most common route of entry is by body contact.
- For liquids with a low-boiling point, the most common route of entry is inhalation.
