They do not depend on conventional oxygen to burn, as their composition supplies their own oxygen to keep them burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic peroxides are all those materials that contain organic carbon and peroxide in their properties. These, when combined with oxygen, can burn independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are characterised by the fact that they are extremely harmful to human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CLASS 6: Toxic and infectious substances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Toxic substances are chemical poisons that are harmful to the human organism. They must be prevented from entering our organism, either topically (through the skin), respiratory or digestive (by ingesting them through the mouth or nose).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CLASS 6 hazardous substances contain micro-organisms that cause infectious diseases, a direct risk to humans and animals because of their pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimasureste.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/transport-of-dangerous-goods-adr-by-road.jpg\" alt=\"Transport of dangerous goods ADR by road\" class=\"wp-image-2030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimasureste.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/transport-of-dangerous-goods-adr-by-road.jpg 720w, https:\/\/maritimasureste.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/transport-of-dangerous-goods-adr-by-road-340x213.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CLASS 7: Radioactive material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any material that emits radiation that affects and damages the human body in any way falls under CLASS 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a high-level dangerous goods, packaging and transport care must be handled according to very high safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CLASS 8: Corrosives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Corrosive materials are highly reactive when in contact with objects and skin, destroying tissue and causing irreversible changes.
