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, leading to various negative effects such as corrosion, degradation, or toxicity. Common sources of chemical damage include industrial spills, agricultural pesticides, and household cleaning products.
In living organisms, chemical damage can result in health issues, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, or long-term diseases. Environmental chemical damage can affect ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity and contamination of soil and water. Proper handling and disposal of chemicals are essential to minimize these risks.
