    Principal Means of Contact with Hazardous Materials

    • Hazardous materials can be contacted via various means, posing significant health risks.
    • Direct contact with the skin or eyes is a primary route of exposure.
    • This can cause irritation, burns, or absorption into the body, leading to severe health consequences.
    • Inhalation of vapors or mists from hazardous materials is another concern.
    • These airborne particles can be inhaled, potentially causing respiratory issues, as well as systemic effects within the body.
    • Absorption through the skin (dermal absorption) is a significant pathway of exposure.
    • Some substances can penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, leading to internal damage or poisoning.
    • The specific hazards associated with each route depend on the characteristics of the hazardous material.
    • Proper protective measures, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are crucial to minimize risk.
