[B]Gases and Vapour Hazards[B]
In order to select the right method of controlling exposure and select the appropriate equipment, it is imperative that we know what the hazard is, the right boiling point and whether it has good warning properties.
[B]Gases and Vapours[B]
Gases are substances which are air like. They are neither solid or liquid at room temperature. Common gases include oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Vapours are gaseous forms of substances which are solids or liquids at room temperature. They are created by the evaporation of solids and liquids.
