Chemical hazards pose significant risks to human health, the environment, and various sectors ofsociety.
Understanding these hazards, their sources, and their impacts is crucial for effective risk management and
development of appropriate safety measures. This review provides a comprehensive overview of chemical
hazards, encompassing various aspects such as the types ofchemicals involved, their sources, exposure
pathways, and adverse effects on human health and the environment. The assessment also covers the
handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous chemicals, stressing the significance of correct management
to avert mishaps and lessen possible damage.
It examines different risk assessment techniques and regulatory frameworks used to manage and reduce
chemical hazards in addition to the dangers themselves. In order to choose the best control methods, it
addresses the significance of hazard identification, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. It also
looks at how national and international bodies, as well as industry standards, set safety rules and regulations.
This analysis highlights the complexity of chemical dangers, their effects, and contributes to collective
awareness for efficient risk management, preventative measures, and environmental preservation.
