GLOSSARY OF BASIC

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TERMS.


Alcohol Resistive- Aqueous Film Forming Foam AR-AFFF:

Fire Fighting foam used for fighting flammable liquid fires. The Alcohol Resistive is generally used on products known as polar solvents. Which indicates the material that is on fire is alcohol based rather than hydrocarbon based, like gasoline.


Chemical Abstract Number CAS #

A numbering system used to identify chemicals from each other. Each chemical has it’s own number.


Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD)

An Emergency device that supplies about three minutes of air. Required piece of Personal Protective Equipment issued by the USCG.


Flammability Range:

The range of material and air, in the atmosphere needed to support combustion. If an ignition source is found. If the material is between the ranges provided it will burn if the material finds an ignition source.


Flash Point:

The lowest temperature in which a substance will give off a vapor that will ignite but will not continue to burn without the addition of more heat.


Hazard Classification (Class)

Each hazardous material is given a classification number which indicates it’s greatest risk. e.g. explosives are class1, flammable liquids are class 3.


Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health IDLH:

Is the value of material in the environment that a person can be exposed to for 30 minutes and be expected to self extricate. This is a person that accidentally found themselves in. If you are in this environment you should leave immediately!


Lethal Concentration 50 LC/50

At this level one half or 50% of test animals died at this level of material in the environment. You should exit this environment immediately.


Lethal Dose 50 LD/50

At this level one half or 50% of test animals died at this dose rate. This material is usually considered a “solid” as in a particulate (dust in air). You should exit this environment immediately.


Parts Per Million PPM

A measurement used to scientifically express the amount of material in atmosphere. Imagine one million particles of air in a box. If our measurement was 100 PPM then we know that out of the one million blue pieces of air there were 100 white pieces in that box.


Short Term Exposure Limit STEL

A person can stay in this environment for 15 minutes without further health issues. Once again this is either a planned exposure or an accidental exposure. If you are in this environment you should leave immediately.





Solubility:

The ability of a solid, liquid, or gas to dissolve in water.


Specific Gravity:

The weight of the material as compared with the weight of an equal volume of water. If the specific gravity is less than one, the material is lighter than water and will float.



Threshold Limit Value TLV:

Is the amount of substance a person working around this material may be exposed to in an eight (8) hour period without suffering any ill effects. (This is done with no protective clothing)

This is set out by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)


Threshold Limit Value Ceiling TLV-C

This indicates the “overdose” limit of a material in the environment. You should NEVER exceed this concentration in air or dose amount. You could suffer health damage at this level.


Time Weighted Average TWA:

Is the amount of substance a person working around this material may be exposed to in an eight (8) hour period without suffering any ill effects. (This is done with no protective clothing)

This is set out by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)


United Nations number UN#

A number applied to all chemicals by the United Nations.


Vapor Density

The weight of a pure vapor or gas compared with the weight of an equal volume of dry air. This is based upon the molecular weight of the material.
