Which of the following describes one of the principle dangers inherent in liquified petroleum gas?

Correct Answer: Option D — its low temperature causes frostbite or freezing

Liquefied petroleum gases are stored at extremely low temperatures. Direct contact with the skin or eyes during a leak or equipment failure causes rapid heat transfer, resulting in severe cryogenic burns, frostbite, or permanent tissue damage. Personnel must utilize appropriate personal protective equipment when handling these hazardous cargoes.
