Firstly, an Occupational Hazard is a hazard, experienced in the workplace. Different types of occupational hazards include chemical hazards, biological hazards, psycho social hazards, and physical hazards.
Secondly, the exposure of high concentration of waste anesthetic gases even for a shorter time can cause Headache,Irritability,Fatigue,Nausea,difficulties in coordination,liver and kidney disease.

Eighth, these harmful substances enter the female body through breathing,contact with the skin and swallowing.
These hazardous substances enter the female body, circulate in the blood and running through the placenta reaches the fetus causing risk in delivery of the baby.
And Lastly, these workplace substances that affect the female workers are not only limited to them but their whole family is exposed to the hazards simultaneously.
However, Occupational Hazards can be prevented through taking certain precautionary measures at the workplaces.
Firstly, sealing or storing chemicals in sealed containers when they are not in use.
