Avoid chemical reactivity incidents in warehouses: use this approach for the initial evaluation of potential reactivity hazards in storage applications

Article Abstract:

A method for avoiding chemical reactions during the storing of chemicals is described. A matrix that makes use of universally available information for chemicals is used for this method. This is an easy-to-understand illustration on how the chemicals should be separated; however, this method fails to evaluate chemical interactions explicitly unlike other quantitative methods.
