INTRODUCTIONAt workplace, many employees are attracted towards the alcohol drinking productsbecause it is a part of society and communities but it negatively impact on the body. Thisassignment will describe the reason of hazardous agent at workplace and how employee may beexposed. Furthermore, this report will describe the process of hazard agent and also identify thephysico-chemical properties or their internal mechanism. Why the hazard present a risk to theemployee health which includes both chronic health effects and acute. However, this report willdescribe that how could be monitored and analyse in an appropriate manner. It will specify theproper code of practices, standards and method applicable in the exposure. ASSESSMENT- 2Discuss about the Neurotoxin process that generate the hazard, including the identification ofinputs, outputs and waste itemsNeurotoxin process refers to the ability and capability of including various type ofadverse chemical that affect in the nervous system. It is to be considered the chemical neurotoxinwhere it is capable of including the consistent pattern to change the dysfunction in the chemicalstructure of nervous system. It is generally manifested as a continuum symptoms and differenteffects. It depends on the nature of chemical and dose. While, the duration of chemical exposureand their traits of exposed individually (Alston, Millikin and Piispanen, 2018). As neurotoxinsare the compounds which affects the entire mechanism of nervous system. It inhibited theprocess can different range from the membrane of depolarization into the inter neuroncommunication. It has ability for neuron to perform the intracellular functions and easily pass asignal to the neighbour. As per survey, it found that there are 50,000 and 1, 00, 000 chemicalsare workplace related the neurotoxic but the majority of chemical have been never tested inproper manner. It is already available in marketplace. Although, the neurotoxic chemicals are produced to use for specific ways and exposuremay increase from the different sources such as private homes, industry and drinking polluteliquids at workplace. It may causes to affect the functionality of nervous tissues (Alston, Millikinand Piispanen, 2018). For Example- Metal is increasing the toxicity because it contain lead andmercury which being toxic agents that impact on the overall functionality. Usually, it is found in
their nature at low concentration but in certain working area (Sargent, 2018). It may be used inlarge amounts so that it may give to increase the risk in environment for employees. Moreover, italso considerable in the large amount of metals which found in waste water. In this way, it mayrise the environmental risk for the residential areas. The toxicity in the metal that handle by theorganism which depend on the structure of chemical. On the other hand, pure metal may be takenby the inhalation and other skin contact of vapour and small particles of lead. It is needed tomonitor the biological action and also released lead in very slowly. Determine the physico chemical properties of Neurotoxin, how it can be generated and themechanism of exposure in both potential and actualPhysico chemical properties is a type of potential chemical alternative that present in theNeurotoxin chemicals where the inherent hazard of chemical that impact on the biologicalconditions. It can be determined by the intrinsic physicochemical properties. It also help foridentifying the materials, composition, size, structure and other morphology. This property canbe used to eliminate from the Neurotoxin chemicals that are likely to exhibit the particularphysical and toxicological hazards. It is important to obtain the data which is relatively fast andless expensive. Physicochemical properties are mainly based on the physical properties which related tothe other solvation interaction with different media. It is interested to the chemical alternativethat can use the finding the physical hazards. It also predict the chemical environments, Ecotoxicity and human toxicity etc. This type of property is generated because of change in theirphysical as well as chemical state (Mahmoudi and etal., 2018). It is needed for measure thechemical level through OECD test which guide to know about the level of chemical anddetermine the vapour pressure water solubility, melting point, boiling point and PH level. Theseare the different criteria to measure the estimation of physicochemical properties. Initially, it can be used the physicochemical properties to identify the physical hazards, itis the primary consideration of hazards that impact on the potential chemical substitution. It mayshift to other substances that are considered as non-physical hazards at the level of consumerswhere it may greater risk at the time manufacturing. Many employee believes that undesiredphysical hazard focus that carry out to the customer realm and most likely limited to the underpressure, corrosively metals and oxidizing liquids etc.
