Several hazards can pose risks to the eyes during catalytic processes:
- Chemical Splashes: Many reactions involve corrosive or toxic chemicals that can cause immediate damage upon contact with the eyes. - Flying Debris: During mechanical processes like grinding or mixing catalysts, particles can become airborne. - Thermal Hazards: High-temperature reactions can emit intense heat or light, leading to burns or photochemical damage. - Ultraviolet and Infrared Radiation: Certain catalysts and reactions may emit harmful UV or IR radiation that can damage ocular tissues.
