10. Why it is important to learn about dangerous goods??
Because
IT CAN START A FIRE
IT CAN HELP SPREADING A FIRE
CAN CAUSE INJURY THROUGH CONTACT AND RADIATION
IT CAN RELEASE TOXIC VAPOUR ON ITS OWN OR COMING IN
CONTACT WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES WHICH CAN AFFECT
CREW PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOACTIVELY.
IT CAN REACT WITH AIRCRAFT MATERIAL

14. Class 1 - Explosives A solid or liquid substance( or a mixture)
Itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surrounding
Example: TNT, Dynamite, Nitroglycerine and etc.

16. Class 2 - Gases
Gases which are compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure as detailed below.
Is completely gaseous at 200c at a standard pressure of kpa.
A gas is a substance which at 500 c has a vapour pressure greater than 300 kpa.
Some gases have subsidiary risk classes; poisonous or corrosive.
AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

17. Sub-class of Class 2
2.1 Flammable Gas: Gases which ignite on contact with an ignition source, such as acetylene and hydrogen.
2.2 Non-Flammable Gases: Gases which are neither flammable nor poisonous. Includes the cryogenic gases/liquids (temperatures of below -100°C) used for cryopreservation and rocket fuels, such as nitrogen and neon.
2.3 Poisonous Gases: Gases liable to cause death or serious injury to human health if inhaled; examples are fluorine, chlorine, and hydrogen cyanide.
