An increased ACTH result can mean that a person has Cushing disease, Addison disease, or ectopic ACTH-producing tumors. A decreased ACTH result can be due to an adrenal tumor, steroid medication, or hypopituitarism.
All fabrics will burn, but some are more combustible than others. Untreated natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk burn more readily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. The weight and weave of the fabric will affect how easily the material will ignite and burn. Fabrics with a tight weave - wool, modacrylic, 100 percent polyester and those that are flame-retardant treated are good choices.
However, with the almost limitless number of chemicals developed for home and industry, many products fall into other subcategories. For example, hydrogen peroxide, a common household chemical, is an oxidizer. It is important to identify the physical hazards products present and understand them. Because of our familiarity with fire, the physical hazards of combustible liquids and flammables are easiest to address. With few exceptions, a combustible liquid has a flashpoint at or above 100 F, but below 200 F. Flammables are divided into three categories by physical state (gas, liquid and solid).
