A health hazard, listed on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), that can cause cancer in exposed individuals is called a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) health hazard terminology • Difference between substances that cause cancer vs those that cause genetic changes • Meaning of terms like irritant and cryogenic in chemical safety

💭 Think About

• Which option specifically refers to a substance that can lead to the development of cancer after exposure, even if it takes a long time? • Which term is more about causing immediate discomfort to skin, eyes, or respiratory system rather than long-term diseases? • Which term is related to very low temperatures rather than toxicity or disease? • Which term deals mainly with changes in DNA or genetic material, which may or may not directly mean cancer in exposed individuals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the word that is directly defined in safety training as "cancer-causing." • Eliminate any option that is mainly about cold/low temperature hazards. • Separate the terms that describe short-term irritation from those that describe long-term serious diseases.
