Question

Define the role of safer chemistry in accident prevention.

Answer 1

1. It is needed to develop chemical processes that are safer and minimize the risk of accidents. It is important to select chemical substances used in a chemical reaction in such a way that they can minimize the occurrence of chemical accidents, explosions, fire and emissions.
2. For example, chemical process that works with the gaseous substances can lead to relatively higher possibilities of accidents including explosion as compared to the system working with non-volatile liquid and solid substances.
