This course focused on hazardous material that can be harmful to not only humans but to the environment and wildlife as well. I learned about many different chemicals and gases that may be difficult to detect. Even chemicals that we cannot see or smell may still be hazardous. The course taught me how to handle hazardous material and what to do in an emergency situation where there is either a leak or spill. The guidebooks were extremely helpful when trying to identify chemicals in certain categories as well as potential health risks when exposed.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;   Normal.dotm  0  0  1  41  238  Nps\/Temple University  1  1  292  12.0     &lt;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;   0  false      18 pt  18 pt  0  0    false  false  false                 &lt;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;  &lt;![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]&gt;&lt;![endif]-->   <!--StartFragment--> <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span><span style=\"background-color: #ead1dc\"><b>The class also covered PPE like gas masks and how to properly dress and disassemble a HazMat suit.
