What are the main toxicological risks in industrial processes?
Industrial processes often involve the use of hazardous chemicals and materials that can pose significant risks to workers and the environment. Chemical exposure can occur through inhalation, dermal contact, or ingestion. Common toxicological risks include exposure to heavy metals, solvents, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances can cause acute effects such as irritation and burns, as well as chronic health issues like cancer, respiratory diseases, and neurological disorders.
