Expert Solution

Dangerous goods and hazardous goods both are not good for the safety of human lives. Both are considered same in some cases but both the goods are different in nature. Dangerous goods are those things which have an immediate degree of risk to the lives of people, property and the environment due to nature of its physical and chemical properties. Explosives, flammable liquids, flammable solids, gases, oxidising agents, organic peroxides, toxic substances, radioactive material, corrosive substances and miscellaneous dangerous goods are types of dangerous goods. Hazardous goods are those things which have the potential to be harmful to human health. It can be in short term or in long term. It includes acids, pesticides and heavy metals.

So core difference between these is that dangerous goods have an immediate danger to people, property and the environment that will harm a person's health ultimately but hazardous goods have a direct risk to a person's health both in short and long term.

Does the amount of hazardous material absorbed by the bodies of hazardous waste workers depend on gender? You want to test the hypotheses that the amount absorbed by men (group 1) is different from the amount absorbed by women (group 2). A random sample of 212 male workers and 114 female workers showed an average lead absorption in the blood of 12.59 (SD = 1.897) and 12.75 (SD = 0.621), respectively (measured in micrograms/deciliter). Assuming that the population standard deviations...

An article in the journal Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials (Vol. 6, 1989) reported the results of an analysis of the weight of calcium in standard cement and cement doped with lead. Reduced levels of calcium would indicate that the hydration mechanism in the cement is blocked and would allow water to attack various locations in the cement structure. Ten samples of standard cement had an average weight percent calcium of 90.0, with a sample standard deviation of 5.0 and...
