🔍 Key Concepts

• Incomplete combustion and what it means (lack of sufficient oxygen) • Common toxic gases in fires, especially in enclosed spaces • Difference between gases that cause asphyxiation vs. those that are direct combustion products

💭 Think About

• Think about which gas is most commonly associated with people being overcome by fumes in house or shipboard fires. • Consider which gas is formed when carbon-based fuels (wood, oil, plastics) burn without enough oxygen. • Ask yourself: which of these gases is famous enough that many homes carry special detectors for it, separate from smoke detectors?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which gas is specifically linked to incomplete combustion of fuels containing carbon. • Check which gas is odorless and colorless, making it especially dangerous in a closed compartment. • Confirm which of the listed gases is the one people are routinely warned about during heating system malfunctions or exhaust leaks.
