Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials are substances or materials that pose a risk to health, safety, or property when transported or used in space and astronautical engineering activities. These materials can be in the form of gases, liquids, or solids and can be toxic, flammable, explosive, corrosive, or radioactive. Hazardous materials can be found in various components of spacecraft, such as propellants, batteries, and electronic equipment. Proper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials are critical to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. Hazardous materials must be identified, classified, packaged, labeled, and transported in accordance with international regulations and guidelines, such as the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Space agencies and companies must have comprehensive hazardous materials management programs that include risk assessments, training, emergency response plans, and environmental monitoring.
