🔍 Key Concepts

• Products of combustion from burning materials in a closed space • Difference between toxic (poisonous) gases and gases that mainly displace oxygen • What gas is produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels

💭 Think About

• When common shipboard materials (fuel, plastics, wood, fabrics) burn with limited oxygen in a closed compartment, which gas is most likely to be produced in large amounts? • Which listed gas is well known in maritime safety and firefighting training as a cause of death by poisoning during a fire? • Among the choices, which gases are normally present in air or used in fire protection systems, and what is their primary danger?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which gas is primarily a chemical poison rather than just an asphyxiant (oxygen displacer). • Recall which gas is described in training as colorless, odorless, and produced by incomplete combustion. • Eliminate gases that are common components of the atmosphere (about 78% for one of them) or mainly used as fire-extinguishing media.
