Dangerous Goods<\/strong> are solids, liquids, or gases that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. they are often subject to chemical regulations. dangerous goods include materials that are radioactive, flammable, explosive, corrosive, oxidizing, asphyxiating, bio hazardous, toxic, pathogenic, or allergenic. also included are physical conditions such as compressed gases and liquids or hot materials, including all goods containing such materials or chemicals, or may have other characteristics that render them hazardous in specific circumstances.<\/p>\n
