Potentially Hazardous facts

While investigating facts about Potentially Hazardous, I found out little known, but curios details like:

Astronauts are not allowed to take bread into space. This is due to astronaut John Young smuggling a corned beef sandwich on Gemini III. The sandwich crumbled apart and launched crumbs in all directions, creating a potential safety/equipment hazard.

Kinder Surprise eggs are illegal in the United States because of the potential hazard of a child choking on the toy. The fine for being caught with one is allegedly up to $2500.

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 12 of the best facts about Potentially Hazardous I managed to collect.

1. NASA established the Planetary Defense Coordination Office to help make early detections of potentially hazardous objects that are predicted to come within 8 million km's of earth's surface.

2. Reckless" is spelled as is not because it involves the potential of causing a wreck, but because one does not reckon carefully all the hazards involved in an action

3. Another risk of pollution comes from the tires of the trucks used to collect garbage and take it to the landfill. These trucks drive over the garbage and carry the rotting material back into the environment, potentially contaminating roads with bacteria and other hazardous material. This can then contaminate ground water and nearby soil.

4. In 2011 Mazda recalled over 50,000 cars because spiders were found to have nested in their fuel lines creating a potential fire hazard in affected vehicles.

5. NASA is tracking 1717 potentially hazardous objects with the potential to impact earth

6. An Ethanol based biofuel could potentially be more hazardous, than petroleum, to aquatic ecosystems in the event of a spill.

7. A large milk spill is considered hazardous waste and a potential environmental disaster.

8. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a program called HAZUS which supports risk-informed decision making efforts by estimating potential losses from earthquakes, floods and hurricanes and visualizing the effects of such hazards

9. There are 72 near-earth objects floating in space, including 8 that are "potentially hazardous asteroids"

10. The European Committee on the Environment... found ‘there is sufficient evidence of potentially harmful effects of electromagnetic fields [wifi] on fauna, flora and human health to react and to guard against potentially serious environmental and health hazards’
