What Types of Hazards are Associated with Catalysts?
Hazards associated with catalysts can be broadly categorized into chemical, physical, and environmental hazards. Chemical hazards involve the reactivity and toxicity of the catalyst material. Physical hazards often pertain to the form of the catalyst, such as powders or nanoparticles, which can pose inhalation risks. Environmental hazards relate to the impact of catalysts or their by-products on ecosystems and human health.
