Hazard classification systems categorize chemicals into various classes based on their inherent hazards. Some of the common categories include:
Acute Toxicity: Chemicals that can cause harmful effects after a single or short-term exposure. Chronic Toxicity: Substances that lead to adverse health effects after prolonged exposure. Carcinogenicity: Chemicals that have the potential to cause cancer. Mutagenicity: Substances that can cause genetic mutations. Reproductive Toxicity: Chemicals that can impact reproductive capabilities and offspring development.
