2. Recognize and practice proper handling of products
Explain the importance of reading product labels
Practice precautionary measures in buying, using, storing and
disposing materials
infer the effects of decaying materials to one’s health safety
Product labelling - is the act of writing and displaying information
about a product's packaging. The product labels show important
details which .
The label on a product allows the customer to know what is in the
food they're eating or the product they're using. This allows the
consumer to know how healthy, or unhealthy, the product is. It's
also important to display the ingredients for those who may be
allergic to certain ingredients.
is a previously determined date after which
something should no longer be used, either by operation of law or
by exceeding the anticipated shelf life for perishable goods.
3. – he first meta-analysis indicated that warning
labels are effective in attracting consumers' attention. In
addition, we find that when warning labels include certain
characteristics such as color or symbols, the likelihood of
noticing the label is further increased.
1. the name of the chemical.
2. the name, address and telephone.
3. number of the manufacturer or importer.
4. the chemical code number.
5. one of three signal words indicating the danger level of the
chemical: “Warning,” “Caution” or “Danger”
6. the word “Poison” if the chemical is highly toxic.
- It's a quantitative measurement of how
a product is used and its general performance rather than a
subjective observation. This type of analytics should be
performed on a regular basis, particularly after a product
goes through a redesign or new features are added.
4. 1. Care in the Use of Food
2. Care in the use of Medicine
3. Care in the Use of Household Materials
– these are assurance that the product is safe to use that it has been
tested and licensed by authorized institutions and organizations.
5. 1. FLAMMABLE MATERIALS OR MATERIALS THAT EASILY CATCH
FIRE MUST BE STORE AWAY FROM FIRE. EXAMPLE OF THESE
MATERIALS ARE; ALCOHOL, GASOLINE, DIESEL AND KEROSENE.
THEY SHOULD BE LABELED CORRECTLY AND PLACED OUT OF
RICH OF CHILDREN. IF POSSIBLE IT SHOULD BE STORED IN A
ROOM OUTSIDE THE HOUSE OR IN A CABINET AWAY FROM
STOVES, HEATERS, ELECTRIC WIRES, AND OTHER THINGS THAT
CAN CAUSE A FIRE. IF YOU SEE A FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN IT, AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE
FOR SCIENCE PROJECT, MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE SUPERVISION
OF YOUR PARENTS OR AN ADULT IN YOUR HOUSE.
6. 2. READ THE LABELS ON THE CONTAINER. Pay attention to
the signs that is written in the container. The signs indicate
how the containers must be handled properly. Examples of
these materials are; Muriatic acid, and bleach. Some of the
common signs and symbols and their meanings are as
follows.
FLAMMABLE
(substance
easily catch
fire)
EXPLOSIVE
(substance has
huge amounts
of energy that
can explode)
TOXIC
(substance can
cause death when
swallowed or
absorbed)
TOXIC
(substance can damage
the eyes, hands, and other
parts of the body parts it
comes in contact with)
7. . It refers to the date beyond
which is the product should NO LONGER BE USED or EATEN. DO NOT
eat, smell or use products that is already expired.
, they can cause injury,
disease, or death to people. ADULTS should be the one who will
disposed them properly, dumping off to the land may contaminates
the soil and ground water.
IT might corrode or damage the pipes.
8. Also, must be prescribed by the doctor,
and follows the doctor’s advice on the amount of medicine you
have to take and the correct time to take it.
Decaying materials are those materials that
undergoes rotting, and they release high amounts of bacteria.
Bacteria that might cause serious health problems when getting
on the body.
9. Waste materials can either be biodegradable or non-biodegradable
materials.
are materials that decays easily with the
help of bacteria, fungi and other organisms. Example: paper, left-over
food, vegetable peelings, and dried leaves.
are materials that do not decay
easily. They will remain in the environment for a very long time.
Example: materials made of plastics, rubber, glass, and metal.
10. materials undergo decomposition that
results in the formation of compost, nutrient-rich organic
matter that can be used as fertilizers. Compositing is the
process by which the compost is formed. For example, a peel
of a fruit that is thrown on the ground is eaten by bacteria,
slowly decays and turns into a natural compost or fertilizers.
You can make a home compost in a container by doing this in
your backyard. Here are the steps of making home compost.
1. A. choose a large container or large tin or plastic bin that
will the compost. Put them in your backyard that is out of
11. 1. B. If you have enough space in your backyard, you can allot an
area in which to make a compost pile and mark this with a simple
fence.
2. Into the bin or compost pile throw household wastes, along with
leaves and grass clippings/trimmed grass. And other materials that
decays, do not include dairy products, glossy paper, meats, plants
that are sprayed with pesticides, oily products, and waste of
animals because it can affect the quality of the compost.
3. Using a thick stick or light spade or rake, turn the contents on the
bin or pile regularly to enable oxygen to circulate. Oxygen can
speed up the decomposition of materials.
12. Because of rapid technological advancements or developments,
many non-biodegradable materials were disposed anywhere and
contributes to major dumps on Earth. It became a serious
problem to every country and it includes Philippines. To
minimize the numbers, we can do the following ways; REDUCE,
REUSE, and RECYCLE.
