Flammability This property indicates whether a substance can catch fire. Flammable materials have a low flashpoint (usually below 60°C or 140°F) and can ignite easily. Examples include gasoline, alcohol, and paper
Toxicity Toxic substances contain specific contaminants that can harm living organisms. The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) identifies 40 such contaminants, including arsenic, benzene, and mercury
Reactivity Reactive materials tend to be unstable under normal conditions. They may react violently with other compounds, release harmful gases, or even explode. Examples include pyrophoric metals, cyanide, and water-reactive substances
Corrosiveness Corrosive materials can break down metals or cause damage. Aqueous solutions with a pH less than 2 or greater than 12.5 fall into this category. Strong acids and alkaline substances are common corrosive materials
