Have you ever had a moment when an idea just came out of nowhere? I would call it being slapped upside of the head with an idea. Merriam-Webster would call it an epiphany. My epiphany was the idea of hazmat being a science, with perhaps the most appropriate name for this being hazmatology.
Hazmatology—why not? There are many “-ologies” out there, most associated with education and the furtherance of studies in a particular subject matter, and that’s what we are trying to do here—further our knowledge of hazmat operations. So let’s define our new term. In its simplest form, hazmatology is the scientific study of hazardous materials. And because science is “the state of knowing” and “knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding,” perhaps thinking of hazmatology as a science will help us dispel myths and misconceptions related to hazardous materials. Further, if we have a science of hazardous materials, then those who study this science could be called hazmatologists.
