The most shocking hazardous material?

The title of “Most Shocking Hazardous Material” may be awarded to Coca Cola concentrate. That’s right – the

concentrated form of the delicious soda you know and love is actually considered hazardous during shipping! There

are some obvious problems we all know about, like the potential consequences from consuming too much sugar.

But Coca Cola concentrate can cause a host of other issues.

The most common risks you run from contact with this product are eye and skin irritation and respiratory

inflammation. Because of the concentration of phosphoric acid and ethyl alcohol in the beverage, it’s important for

people handling the concentrate to protect any open cuts, avoid repeated skin contact, and avoid inhaling the

substance.
