Air and inhalation
We take over 20,000 breaths a day. This number can be much higher for infants and children. The chemicals and pollutants we inhale can end up in our lungs and blood stream. Sometimes, we can smell or taste harmful chemicals, but it isn't always so easy. Some chemicals, like radon or carbon monoxide, are odourless, tasteless, and invisible.
Skin and eye contact
You can be exposed to chemicals by coming into contact with them through your skin and eyes. These organs can be more sensitive to chemicals and may react more quickly than the rest of our bodies. Wearing protective equipment, such as gloves and eye goggles, can protect you from direct exposure. It can also prevent you from spreading substances onto other objects and people.
Food, water, and ingestion
Many chemicals can be found in both our food and water sources. As we eat and drink, we might swallow chemicals that can harm us. However, there are actions you can take to limit your exposure, such as replacing older lead pipes or refraining from heating food in plastic containers not intended for that purpose. You can also keep your community safe by disposing of hazardous chemicals according to your municipal guidelines.
