What is the definition of Dangerous Goods (a.k.a. Hazardous Material or Hazmat)?

• A dangerous good is any solid, liquid or gas that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. An equivalent term, used almost exclusively in the United States, is Hazardous Material (Hazmat). Dangerous goods may be radioactive, flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, biohazardous, an oxidizer, asphyxiant, pathogen, allergen, or may have other characteristics that render it hazardous under specific circumstances.

World wide not just North America

Laws and regulations governing the use, handling, shipping, and storage of hazardous materials may differ depending on the activity and status of the material. For example one set of requirements may apply to their use in the workplace while a different set of requirements may apply to spill response, sale for consumer use, or transportation. Most countries regulate some aspect of hazardous materials.
