ABSTRACT
The hazards associated with hydrogen can be physiological (frostbite and asphyxiation), physical (component failures and embrittlement), or chemical (burning or explosion), the primary hazard being inadvertently producing a —ammable or explosive mixture with air. Safety can be obtained only when designers and operational personnel are aware of all hazards related to handling and use of hydrogen. In general, hydrogen safety concerns are not more severe than those we are accustomed to with gasoline or natural gas, but they are simply different.
