Hazardous chemicals are substances that exhibit properties such as high toxicity, corrosiveness, explosiveness, flammability, or oxidizing capability, posing significant risks to human health, facilities, and the environment. Any substance that is listed in the Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals or meets the identification criteria for hazardous classification is officially recognized as a hazardous chemical.
