Chapter 4, Problem 4.1Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given statement related to gas properties should be completed.

Concept Introduction:

The gases which are colorless, highly toxic, and odorless produces hazard which in turns affect the environment adversely. The term hazard explains the risk of damage and causes harm to the environment.

The types of hazard are as follows:

  1. Physical hazard - These types of hazard are associated with the machine and vibrations.
  2. Biomechanical hazard − These types of hazard are associated with the repetitive motions.
  3. Chemical hazard − These types of hazard are associated with the hazardous chemicals and its usage.
