Chemical Damage
Chemical damage refers to harm caused to materials, living organisms, or the environment due to exposure to harmful chemicals. This can occur through direct contact, inhalation, or ingestion of toxic substances. Common examples include damage to skin from acids, deterioration of metals from corrosion, and adverse health effects in humans from pesticides.
In industrial settings, chemical damage can lead to equipment failure, safety hazards, and environmental pollution. Proper handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals are essential to minimize risks. Regulations and safety protocols are often established to protect workers and the environment from potential chemical damage.
