Question 1 of 205eccefa4bacbc34ba4d48453

When maintaining the circuits shown in figures "B" and "C" the illustration, other than the fact that the fluorescent tube glass fragments may cut a persons skin, what dangers are associated with component "4" should it become broken? The contained mercury vapor is highly toxic. The inside coating of phosphor is highly poisonous. See illustration EL-0081.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Fluorescent lamp construction – what gases and coatings are actually inside tube 4 in view A of the illustration • Health and safety characteristics of mercury vapor versus typical phosphor coatings used in lighting • Realistic shipboard maintenance practice: what is normally treated as a critical toxic hazard and what is handled with basic care only

💭 Think About

• Look closely at view A: what substances are explicitly identified inside component 4, and how are they labeled or emphasized? • From general safety knowledge, which of those substances is treated as acutely hazardous in small breakages, and which is usually handled as a minor contamination risk? • If the exam is focused on practical shipboard danger, which of statements I or II would require more stringent precautions such as ventilation, spill kits, or hazardous‑waste procedures?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what is actually shown inside the tube in view A: argon gas and mercury vapor, phosphor coating, and any notes about toxicity • Think about which substance is widely regulated and labeled as toxic in small quantities, even in household lamps • Before choosing, ask yourself: would both, one, or neither of these require reporting and special cleanup procedures if tube 4 broke on board?
