SDSs are crucial in the field of catalysis for several reasons:
Hazard Identification: Catalysts often involve reactive materials that could be hazardous. SDSs help in identifying these hazards. Safe Handling: They provide guidelines on how to safely handle, transport, and store catalytic substances. Emergency Measures: In case of accidental exposure or spills, SDSs offer first-aid measures and emergency procedures. Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with regulations such as OSHA, REACH, and GHS is often mandatory, and SDSs ensure adherence to these standards.
