The physical form of a chemical can affect how it enters your body. If chemical solids get onto your skin or food and you then ingest them. They will cause poisoning.

My collegue Mr Yasun gave detailed information about kinds of dusts yesterday. The main danger from harmful dusts is that you can inhale them into your lungs. They can also cause eye damage. Many liquid chemicals give off vapours which you can inhale and which may be highly toxic, depending on the chemical. Liquid chemicals can be absorbed by your skin. Some liquid chemicals may cause immediate skin damage (they may or may not be absorbed into the bloodstream as well). The vapours from some chemicals can irritate your eyes and skin. There can be a variety of serious health effects from inhaling certain toxic chemical vapours. Vapours can be flammable or explosive. To avoid fire or explosion, it is important to keep chemicals that vaporize away from any sparks, sources of ignition or incompatible chemicals. Gases can be inhaled. Some gases produce irritant effects immediately. Gases may be flammable or explosive. Extreme caution should be used when working around flammable or explosive gases. Asphyxiant gases;A gas which by totally or partially replacing atmospheric oxygen can cause respiratory distress or suffocation. Generally, large dust particles can be filtered out of the respiratory system. But small dust particles are difficult to eliminate and can reach the deepest parts of the lungs. they can cause serious local respiratory problems. When the lungs
