For cargo, there are many types of goods shipped from China to the United States, including daily necessities and defensive equipment. Dangerous goods are also included. However, do you really know about dangerous goods? In the following article, we will learn together about this special commodity
Dangerous goods are those goods that are corrosive, herbal, flammable, poisonous or explosive, which have a high risk of causing personal injury or death or harm to the goods during transportation, loading, unloading or storage and require special security. When shipping from China to the USA during transport, we should ensure that the environment of the goods is constant to save you from shaking at some point in the transport and to avoid injury.
Categories and definitions of dangerous goods
Dangerous goods are specifically classified into nine categories according to their nature
Flammable liquids
This cloth is unstable at room temperature and its vapor can mix with air to form explosive combinations.
When transporting flammable liquids we should take care of the best sealed environment to avoid the risk of evaporation of the liquid.
Flammable solids, spontaneously flammable chemicals and wet flammable chemicals
This form of the chemical is one that, while in contact with water or moisture, produces a violent chemical reaction and launches a large number of flammable gases and warm chemicals, some of which no longer want an open flame, which is, it may burn or explode.
This type of product must be transported with care in the vicinity of its storage and in a dry and cool environment.
Compressed or liquefied gases
When these chemicals are subjected to warmth, impact or violent shaking, the stresses in the field can increase dramatically, causing bursts and explosions in the field or causing loose valves and leaks from cylinders, which can lead to fire or poisoning injuries.
When transporting compressed gases and liquids, the pressure vessel in which the product is stored needs to be secured with special shelves to avoid you shaking it. The sealing of the valves in the tank should be checked frequently to avoid injury.
Explosives
These are chemicals that, when exposed to external influences (including temperature, pressure, impact, etc.), undergo a violent chemical reaction and immediately generate large amounts of fuel and heat, causing an unexpected rise in pressure around them, leading to an explosion and causing harm to the surrounding environment. In transport technology, we must ensure that the storage surroundings need to be dry and cool, but also constant to prevent shaking influences.
Corrosive substances
This form of chemical is corrosive. A strong or liquid substance that may burn human tissue and cause damage to gadgets, including metal.
When transporting such items, most are packaged in glass bottles, so we should take care to handle them carefully and secure them effectively and securely.
Oxidising retailers and organic peroxides
This form of hazardous product is a material that is in an excessively oxidised state and is strongly oxidising. It readily decomposes and releases oxygen and heat.
Radioactive substances
Care should be taken to properly seal this type of radioactive hazardous material to ensure that it is protected prior to transport.
Toxic and infectious substances
It can interfere with or disrupt the normal physiological functions of the body, cause temporary or persistent pathological conditions and even endanger lives.
The transport of toxic and hazardous substances must be safely sealed to prevent toxic and hazardous liquids from evaporating and being inhaled.
Miscellaneous items
This category of dangerous goods refers to magnetic items of a narcotic, toxic or other similar nature that can cause emotional irritation or discomfort to the flight crew, thus affecting the correct execution of the mission and endangering flight safety.
Care must be taken during the transport of such items to demagnetize and seal them.
