    The health hazard pictogram is a red diamond with a human head and half torso with an exploding heart. This pictogram indicates after long periods of exposure can cause health problems. The following health hazards include Acute Toxicity, Skin Corrosion, and Serious eye damage, Carcinogen, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity, Respiratory Sensitizer, Target Organ Toxicity and lastly Aspiration Toxicity. Acute toxicity is contact of the skin or ingestion symptoms occur within 24 hours, or 4 hours when inhaled. Skin corrosion is damage to the skin that is permanent after 4 hours of contact. Serious eye damage is damage to the eye tissue within 21 days of contact. Then there are more serious hazards that can be life threating.…

    In a general sense, the toxicity of a substance could be defined as the capacity to cause injury to a living organism. [1] A highly toxic substance will damage an organism if administered in very small amounts; a substance of low toxicity will not produce an effect unless the amount is very large. Thus, toxicity cannot be defined without reference to the quantity of a substance administered or absorbed, the way in which this quantity is administered (e.g. inhalation, ingestion, injection) and distributed in time (e.g. single dose, repeated doses), the type and severity of injury, and the time needed to produce that injury.…
