How do safety standards affect the development and use of catalytic materials?
Safety standards are critical in the development and use of catalytic materials to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of workers and the public. Catalytic processes can involve high temperatures, pressures, and the use of reactive chemicals, all of which pose significant risks. Regulatory agencies enforce strict guidelines for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of catalytic materials. These standards often require extensive testing and certification before new catalytic materials can be commercially used.
