(a) to act in opposition to a force or influence; (b) to react based on a irrational beliefs; (c) to have negative emotions; (d) to be in judgment about self, others or life
The ability to react vigorously, decompose or condense under conditions of shock, pressure or temperature REACTIVITY - The ability of a material to undergo chemical reaction with the release of energy or heat REDUCING AGENT - A material which accepts oxygen in a reaction REPRODUCTIVE TOXINS - Chemicals which have a negative effect on the ability to produce normal offspring RESPIRATORY - Pertaining to the ability to breathe and to exchange gases in the lungs ROE - See Route of entry ROUTE OF ENTRY (ROE) - The pathways a chemical or biological hazard may use to enter the body Generally speaking, the most common ROEs are inhalation, ingestion, absorption, and injection
Can explode (when exposed to heat, air, water or shock) There are few consumer products still on the market that are explosive (except for fireworks) Some older explosive products may still be stored in homes
tends to react spontaneously, to react vigorously with water or air, to be unstable when exposed to shock or heat, to generate toxic gases, or to explode during routine management Top
means a chemical which in the pure state, or as produced or transported, will vigorously polymerize, decompose, condense, or will become self-reactive under conditions of shock, pressure or temperature Water reactive means a chemical that reacts with water to release a gas that is either flammable or presents a health hazard
