What first aid is appropriate for skin contact with tank residue from a cargo of leaded gasoline?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Chemical burns vs. simple skin contamination from petroleum products • Standard first-aid steps for toxic liquid cargoes on skin (MSDS / safety data sheet basics) • Why adding other chemicals or ointments can sometimes make things worse

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: with an unknown or toxic residue on the skin, what is usually the safest immediate first action before anything else? • Which option removes the contaminant from the body, and which options might trap it against the skin or add new chemicals? • Think about what you’ve learned for fuel, solvents, or corrosive splashes on skin — what general procedure is emphasized?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice focuses on rapid removal/dilution of the contaminant from the skin surface. • Eliminate any option that adds more chemicals to the affected area without first removing the residue. • Check that the option you pick is consistent with standard first aid for chemical exposure, not treatment for internal poisoning or shock unless specified.
