Our baby boy will grow up and go into the industry of production of plastics, solvents for dry cleaning and metal degreasing, textiles, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, insecticides, dyestuffs, household cleaning products, etc. He is reactive with our skin so we tend not to hug him too hard because he tends to burn us. He sometimes reacts with flammable materials and if consumed, He will cause coughing and vomiting and lunge damage. When mixed with water and drank, not a major concern however other materials present in the water may generate disinfection by products that can damage human health.
