🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties of carbon dioxide (CO₂) used as a firefighting agent • Differences between toxic, asphyxiating, and irritating gases • Safe vs. unsafe use of CO₂ in confined spaces around people

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask yourself: Is this a true physical property of CO₂ (can we smell it, see it, etc.)? • Think about how CO₂ actually puts out a fire: what does it do to the oxygen in the area? • Consider real-life safety procedures: Would you normally keep people inside a closed room if you were releasing a CO₂ fire-extinguishing system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which properties of CO₂ are sensory (can it be smelled or seen?). • Recall that CO₂ systems for machinery spaces usually require evacuating personnel before discharge—what does that imply about statement B? • Check which statement conflicts with basic fire science: CO₂ works by displacing oxygen—how does that affect human safety?
