LECTURE 4:CLASS 5-CLASS 8TRANSPORT DANGEROUS GOODS BY AIRDANGEROUS GOODS CLASSESAMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF2Class 1 - ExplosivesClass 2 - GasesClass 3 - Flammable liquidsClass 4 - Flammable solids and reactive substanceClass 5 - OXIDIZERS AND ORGANIC PEROXIDESClass 6 - TOXIC AND INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCESClass 7 - RADIOACTIVE MATERIALClass 8 - CORROSIVE ARTICLES AND SUBSTANCESClass 9 - MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES AND SUBSTANCESCLASS 5 : OXIDIZERS & ORGANIC PEROXIDES5.1 Oxidizers5.2 Organic PeroxidesOxidizing AgentOXIDIZING AGENTProduce oxygen on its own upon temperature rise and heat when in contact with organic compound.Chemical Compound that readily transfer oxygen atomsNot necessarilyCombustible5.1 OXIDIZERSAlso known as: Oxidant Oxidizing AgentAll oxidizing agent other than organic peroxides.It can be divided into 4 categoriesExamples: Calcium HypochlorideAmmonium NitratePotassium PermanganateClass 1Class 2Class 4Class 35.1 ORGANIC COMPOUNDHave different chemical structureOxidizing agent either in liquid / solid formExample Benzoyl Peroxides Cumene Hydroperoxide Hydrogen Peroxide Intentionally or unintentionally initiate explosive Potential Risks . . . Promote FireSensitive to heat & frictionBurn Rapidly Oxygen is needed in combustion. As the chemical capable to produce its own oxygen, it has tendency to promote fire with help of ignition source. Temperature influence chemical compound to produce oxygen. Friction cause temperature rise As chemical burn, temperature rise More oxygen produce Fire burns rapidly.Potential Risks . . . Ignite easilyExplosion Oxygen is needed in combustion. As the chemical capable to produce its own oxygen, it has tendency to promote fire with help of ignition source. Temperature influence chemical compound to produce oxygen. Friction cause temperature risePotential Risks . . . Sensitive to lightRelease gas at room temperature Refer to organic compound Must be stored in darkness Present of light causes the changes in chemical properties. Some chemical compose oxygen at room temperature. Must be stored refrigerated CLASS 6 : TOXIC & INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE6.1 Toxic Substance (Poison)6.2 Infectious Substance (Biohazard)Substance that liable to cause death/serious injury to human health if inhaled/ swallow or by skip absorption.Substance contain virus culture, PATHOGEN, used intravenous needles.Potential RiskDeathVirus & DiseaseInfectionPoisonousCLASS 7 : Radioactive Substance Substances used in Medical / Scientific purposes Comprises substance or combination of substance emit radiation. This radiation cause severe or fatal health problems to people who are exposed to.ExamplesNuclearUraniumPlutoniumPotential RiskHarmful to peopleAffect human body healthCan affect geneticHairBrainThyroidBlood systemHeartGastrointestinal TractReproductive TractCLASS 8 : Corrosives Substance in the event of leakage, can cause severe damage by chemical action when in contact with living tissue or can materially damage other freight or the means of transport.8.1 Acids8.2 Alkali

Potential Risk . . . Produce heat and gases.Destroy living tissue and other materialsCan produce damage to aircraft structure
