The latest lab tests show the presence of an oxidizing substance.

Cigarette smoke and polluted air, for example, contain many of these oxidizing substances.

In sunlight, these gases react with one another to form ozone and other oxidizing substances.

Class 5 - Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides 6.

Explosive when mixed with oxidizing substances 17.

Chlorine, iodine, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, acids, and even water can be oxidizing substances.

Oxidizing materials are chemicals that can decompose readily to yield oxygen or an oxidizing substance.

The oxidizing substance loses electrons in the reaction, and the reducing substance gains electrons.

Puzzling over perchlorate The other chemical standout was a compound called perchlorate, a highly oxidizing substance.

Its main difference from a rocket is that it collects air from the atmosphere to burn its fuel rather than carrying an oxidizing substance on board.

In this way, different reactions occur in the anode and cathode poles, and therefore, various oxidizing substances is produced.

Oxidizing Substance and Organic Peroxides Class 6:

Diethylene glycol can be oxidized to the carboxylic acid with strong oxidizing substances like nitric acid.

Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides Divisions Class 5 has two divisions:

For example, rust forms when there is an oxidation-reduction reaction between oxygen contained in water or moist air (an oxidizing substance) and iron (a reducing substance).

It is not anticipated that this issue will be revisited; i.e., the GHS criteria for oxidizing substances will not encompass bromine nor chlorine.

Substances are included in Class 5 "if they are oxidizing substances or organic peroxides and meet the criteria for inclusion in one of the divisions of Class 5.

For example, vitamin C has antioxidant activity when it reduces oxidizing substances such as hydrogen peroxide, however, it will also reduce metal ions that generate free radicals through the Fenton reaction.

The idea behind antioxidants is to block the action of omnipresent free radicals, highly reactive oxidizing substances that form in the body during normal metabolism and that enter the body from the external environment.

Other significant discoveries of the Viking mission include: The Martian surface is a type of iron-rich clay that contains a highly oxidizing substance that releases oxygen when it is wetted.

The Phoenix lander's analysis of soil samples taken on Mars has found possible traces of a contaminant called perchlorate, a highly oxidizing substance which is detrimental to life, NASA has said.

Common substances which can cause or contribute to the combustion of another material by yielding oxygen or another oxidizing substance include chlorates, perchlorates, chromates, dichromates, permanganates as well as some inorganic peroxides.

The last sample delivered to TEGA, on Aug. 7, was to be analyzed for signs of perchlorate, a highly oxidizing substance that was detected in dirt samples by the lander's wet chemistry laboratory.

Oxidizing Substances, consisting of substances that yield oxygen that causes or contributes to combustion of other material (as determined in accordance with Chapter 2.5 of the UN Recommendations) Class 5.2:

A genetic condition that results in inadequate levels of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) can cause sufferers to develop hemolytic anemia after ingesting specific oxidizing substances, such as very large dosages of vitamin C.

An oxidising substance can damage and destroy material such as human tissue.

Contact with oxidising substances may cause extreme violent combustion.

Explosive when mixed with oxidising substances.

A substance is an oxidising substance if either:

These fertilisers are classified as oxidising substances identified by the yellow oxidising label.

Hazard: Oxidising substances can ignite combustible material or worsen existing fires, and thus make fire-fighting more difficult.

According to Dr Myers, testosterone in the presence of prostate cancer produces hydrogen peroxide, which is a strongly oxidising substance.

Various equipment will measure UV rays, oxidising substances, air pressure, air temperature, dust impact, wind velocity, and ground vibration.

The regulations are extremely complex as they cover explosives, flammables, corrosives and oxidising substances and those which are toxic to people and the environment.

Class 5.1 Oxidising substances - substances which in themselves are not necessarily combustible, but which by yielding oxygen may cause or contribute to the combustion of other material.

Polyethylene is attacked by strongly oxidising substances such as halogens and concentrated inorganic acids such as nitric, sulphuric (including oleum), perchloric, etc.

AZDN kegs were stored in the same section of the warehouse as SPS and other oxidising substances, after being wrongly classified in the documentation.

Perchlorate (a compound containing chlorine and oxygen) is a potentially oxidising substance often seen in arid soils on Earth, such as in the Atacama desert in Chile.

Dangerous goods including, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids and oxidising substances have conditions and quantities for licensing specified in the Dangerous Goods Regulations 1976.

If you transport hazardous substances, you must comply with the controls on the substance, for example, making sure that incompatible materials such as flammable substances are not transported with oxidising substances.

Major Kariono, spokesman for the navy's eastern fleet, said that the boat, which was heading from Surabaya to Bala-Balangan island in West Sulawesi province, was stopped on Sunday and found to be carrying 107 sacks of an oxidising substance that could be used to make home-made explosives.
