Answer 1

Acute toxicity:

Question 2

a chemical that has been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and found to be a carcinogen or potential carcinogen; or is listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen in the Annual Report on Carcinogens published by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) (latest edition); or is regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen. (formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde)

Answer 2

Carcinogen:

Question 3

adverse effects resulting from repeated doses or exposures to a substance over a relatively prolonged period of time.

Answer 3

Chronic toxicity:

Question 4

Question 11

a chemical for which there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees. Also includes chemicals which are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, nerurotoxins, agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.

Answer 11

Health hazards:

Question 12

Answer 16

Physical hazards:

Question 17

material that will ignite spontaneously in air at 130 degree F or below (calcium or titanium powder)

Answer 17

Pyrophoric:

Question 18

a chemical that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical (formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde)

Answer 18

Sensitizer:

Question 19

a relative property of a chemical agent and refers to a harmful effect on some biologic mechanism and the conditions under which this effect occurs.

Answer 19

Toxicity:
