Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The physiological effects exposure to formaldehyde should be explained; formaldehyde is released when burning some plastic.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical exposure: Serval chemical can result in varying symptoms with different degrees of danger, mild reactions include burning and tearing of the eyes, throat, nose, chest, skin. The several chemical include coughing, wheezing, feeling faint, convulsion and even death.
Chemical hazards: Exposure the chemical getting into on human body to occur to make you sick or cause adverse health effects or have any effect on your health. If cannot exposed to the chemical, it cannot make you sick.
