Environmental hazard

Chemical hazards include substances such as pesticides, solvents, acids, bases, reactive metals, and poisonous gases.

They include a wide range of environmental factors such as noise, vibration, extreme temperatures, radiation, and ergonomic hazards.

This can include medical waste, samples of a microorganism, virus, or toxin (from a biological source) that can impact human health.

These hazards can lead to psychological issues like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Psychological hazards can exist in any type of workplace, and their management is a crucial aspect of occupational health and safety.

[7]Conceptual model of exposure Hazards have the potential to cause adverse effects only if they come into contact with populations that may be harmed.

[8] Conceptual models communicate the pathway connecting sources of a given hazard to the potentially exposed population(s).

If the detected levels are consistently lower than these limits, arsenic may not be a chemical of potential concern for the purposes of this risk assessment.

This can include medical waste or samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can affect human health.
