Explosive Chemicals - How Dangerous are They?

Many people have a natural fear of chemicals that catch fire easily.
In fact, I know of some people who became so nervous whenever

they have to come into the chemical areas that they lost their concentration

and fumble about with their activities, visibly shaken. It is as if the whole

place is going to explode in their faces anytime. However, if this natural

fear is allowed to paralyze us, there will not be any oil refinery, oil wells

or even petrol stations anywhere. Industrial processes will literally grind

to a halt. People will be so afraid to handle these chemicals in their work.

This article tries to eliminate this natural fear by explaining the properties

of flammable chemicals so that people will treat flammable chemicals with

respect but not with fear.
