What Types of Materials Are Considered To Be Dangerous Or Hazardous?
In some cases, it may not be obvious that a commodity or material would be considered dangerous. For example, you may not have realized that lithium batteries or battery-powered industrial machinery are considered to be dangerous goods (due to the volatile nature of the battery chemistry).
