🔍 Key Concepts

• Toxicity and health effects of different firefighting agents when inhaled or contacted by skin • How asphyxiants (like certain gases) affect breathing compared to simple irritants • Historical use and later banning/restrictions of certain chemical extinguishing agents

💭 Think About

• First, think about which agent(s) are known to be toxic or poisonous even in small amounts when inhaled or broken down by heat. • Consider which agent could displace oxygen and cause suffocation, even if it does not directly poison the body. • Ask yourself: which option is a naturally occurring, everyday substance that people are routinely exposed to without serious harm?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any agents known to produce toxic decomposition products or long-term health effects. • Be cautious with agents that displace oxygen in confined spaces, as they can be very dangerous to personnel. • Identify the agent that is most commonly used in everyday life with minimal health risk under normal firefighting conditions.
