Common Hazardous Chemical Application Area in Pharmaceutical Industry

Dangers and Harmful Factors in the Manufacturing Process of Pharmaceutical Enterprises

Many of the raw materials in the process of drugs are dangerous chemicals (such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, concentrated hydrochloric acid, etc.), which are flammable, explosive and corrosive. Fire accidents are easy to occur in open fire or static electricity.

Poisoning- such as benzene and its appendages, frequent exposure to these materials can affect the hematopoietic system and the central nervous system.

Suffocation - if body has been exposed to a high concentration of substances, such as ethanol, acetone, ether, etc., for a long time. These chemicals will suppress the central nervous system, which can lead to coma.

Explosion - A chemical explosion occurs when combustibles evaporate and mix sufficiently with air to reach the explosive limit when exposed to open fire or static electricity.

Burn - When the body comes into contact with certain chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid, peroxides, liquefied gases, etc., it can cause skin burns or frostbite.
