Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The core difference that lies between dangerous goods and hazardous substances is that dangerous goods present an immediate danger to people, property and the environment, that may ultimately harm a person's health; on the other hand, hazardous substances are substances that present a direct risk to a person's health.
