What are the risks associated with catalyst materials?
Catalyst materials themselves can pose risks, including toxicity, flammability, and environmental hazards. For example, some metallic catalysts can be toxic if inhaled or ingested, while others may be pyrophoric, igniting spontaneously in air. Proper handling, storage, and disposal procedures must be followed to mitigate these risks. Personnel should be trained in the specific hazards associated with the catalysts they are using.
