Dangerous goods at a glance

The thought rarely crosses our minds, but many of the goods we use on a regular basis pose dangers to aircraft. Lithium batteries, dry ice and aerosols may seem harmless, however, when transported they can be very dangerous. Vibrations, static electricity, temperature and pressure variations can cause items to leak, generate toxic fumes, start a fire, or even explode if these products are not handled properly.

A dangerous good (also known as hazardous material or hazmat) is any substance or material that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health and safety, when transported in commercial situations.
