Hazard Symbols: Symbolic Radioactive
Hazard symbols are graphical indicators for warning people
of the dangers that they may encounter such as hazardous materials, perilous locations,
and objects that may cause serious harm such as electric currents, poisons and
so on.
The most common symbol would be the skull and cross bones. It’s
the defunct symbol for poisonous substances and lethal danger. Pretty much
looks like the symbol on a pirates flag.
The next would be the trefoil or the radioactive symbol. The
symbol is used to mark highly radioactive substances or location, where
prolonged exposure without proper equipment might result in mutations. You will
not turn into a super hero from being exposed to radiation most likely death
will occur.
The Biohazard symbol is used for labeling biological
materials that pose significant health risks. You will always see these in zombie movies where there is an 'outbreak' that causes people to die and come back as the living dead because of a malevolent virus brought upon by science.
