If you came into contact with nitrobenzene while disconnecting the cargo hose, you should be aware that it is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties and health hazards of nitrobenzene as an industrial chemical • Routes of chemical exposure: skin absorption, inhalation, ingestion • Difference between nerve poisons and blood poisons

💭 Think About

• Think about what main body system nitrobenzene affects most seriously: the nervous system, the blood, or mainly through skin contact? • Consider whether a hazardous cargo can reasonably have more than one type of toxic effect at the same time. • Ask yourself which option best matches how Safety Data Sheets (SDS) usually describe nitrobenzene’s health effects.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether nitrobenzene is known to affect the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. • Verify if skin contact alone (without swallowing or inhaling) is considered highly dangerous for this substance. • Confirm whether standard references describe it specifically as a nerve poison, a blood poison, or both.
