Environmental Hazards: Biological, Chemical, Waste and Radon
ASP written lesson, 9 min read. ASP Domain 7: Environmental Management
Written with AI help from the rules it covers, then fact-checked against them. Study aid, not site-specific safety advice. The official rule controls.
What you'll learn
- Classify an environmental hazard as biological, chemical, waste-related or radiological
- Explain how moisture control prevents mold, and when a mold job needs more than self-help cleanup
- Name common sources of indoor air problems and the role of ventilation
- Describe hazardous air pollutants and how waste sites are addressed under Superfund
- Apply EPA's radon action level and convert between picocuries and becquerels
What this lesson covers
This lesson sorts environmental hazards into biological, chemical, waste and radiological groups, using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance on mold, indoor air, air toxics, Superfund and radon. It matters because the same hazard that harms the community often reaches workers first, and safety professionals are expected to spot it.
