There are nine pictograms used in the GHS system, each representing different hazards:
Health Hazard: Identifies chemicals that can cause serious health effects such as carcinogenicity, respiratory sensitization, and reproductive toxicity. Flame: Indicates flammable substances, including gases, aerosols, liquids, and solids. Exclamation Mark: Warns of less severe health effects, such as skin irritation, eye irritation, and specific target organ toxicity. Gas Cylinder: Represents gases under pressure, which may explode if heated. Corrosion: Highlights substances that can cause skin corrosion/burns, eye damage, or are corrosive to metals. Exploding Bomb: Indicates explosives, self-reactives, and organic peroxides. Flame Over Circle: Represents oxidizing gases, liquids, and solids. Skull and Crossbones: Denotes acute toxicity, with potentially fatal or toxic effects upon exposure. Environment: Highlights chemicals that pose a risk to the aquatic environment.
