The physical properties of a hazardous material provide information to help responders understand its behavior, whether in its container or after it has been released. This module describes the following physical properties: physical state, melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, vapor density, specific gravity, expansion ratio, flash point, solubility, pH, reactivity, and toxicity.
• List and describe key physical properties of hazardous materials
• Describe the hazards associated with a material based on its physical properties
