Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignmentbyPrimeBOT (talk) 17:17, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

it affects living and non-living things because it can kill you if you touch it or breath it and you with pain fully die by a heart attack so if you are in high school working with chemicals you will die by the age of 18 so bye all of you guys that touch or inhale chemical hazards . bye bye The chemical hazard symbol story could be wikified here: http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/simcenter/chemical_symbol_story.htm

Also there seems to be some controversy about the symbol. [1]

The article doesn't seem to have sufficient context for it to be able to stand on its own, so I will propose that this article be merged with Chemical accident. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 03:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the merge. Although the article is short now, there is nothing to say that someone won't come along and expand it. Running things on "Wikipedia time" means a lot of input never even makes it into the encyclopedia. "Haste makes waste". Ignorance is strength (talk) 20:05, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree - a cylinder of chlorine is a chemical hazard, it's not a chemical accident - unless it falls over and the valve comes off!  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the suggestion to merge with "chemical accident", for the reasons stated above. However, it is entirely reasonable to merge this article with "Hazardous_material" instead. --Abought (talk) 23:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Chemical hazard with Hazardous material makes sense to me, since a hazardous material is a chemical hazard, as far as I can tell. I think Chemical accident should remain untouched as there is plenty of content for such a page. Scientific29 (talk) 17:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will be performing the merger between Chemical hazard and Hazardous material in the near future, unless there are objections. Since Hazardous materials now redirects to Dangerous goods, Chemical hazard will actually redirect to Dangerous goods. I don't plan on keeping any content from Chemical hazard. The first sentence on the page ("A chemical hazard arises from contamination of an area with harmful or potentially harmful chemicals") does not appear accurate [2] and will be deleted during the merge. The second sentence of Chemical hazard would be redundant if added to Hazardous goods. I will wait a few days for a response and then perform the merge. Scientific29 (talk) 00:49, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have decided to restore chemical hazard as a standalone article five years after it was merged into chemical accident. I will work to develop a fuller article. The issue is that chemical hazards are not manifested exclusively as accidents; chemicals can be hazardous from even ordinary exposure in the workplace. This is why government agencies publish limits for both day-to-day exposure and for short-term high exposure seen in cases such as chemical accidents.

Can I invite you to critically review the additional statements that you have introduced. Firstly to write it in encyclopaedic style - 3rd person singluar, no "we" or similar pronouns. Much more importantly, you have twisted the meaning of some of the refs, almost certainly unintentionally, to suggest that neuro-developmental issues in the child can be mitigated by clinical advice. What the refs actually say is that the unknown risks of neuro developmental disorders are probably linked to exposure of ubiquitous chemical to which everyone in the US is exposed. The difference is critical. You can't avoid these risks if you live in the US because they are in your every-day environment, food, water, clothing, etc.etc. I understand that you are a student and simply deleting your entry might be deterimental to your progress, but you must read WP:MEDRS and ensure that you read and fully understand the references that are used to provide summary texts which are then nes you have cited.
