Narrative:
Load planner is having hazardous material surrounded by passenger's bags to keep it secure. This poses a serious threat if we are unaware of the materials in the passenger's luggage and it ends up being incompatible materials. Please review this situation. My pilot wanted to know what aminoproplytrethoxysilane was.
