Question 1377 Deck General

The correct answer is D) its low temperature causes frostbite or freezing. Liquified petroleum gas, such as propane or butane, is stored under high pressure and has an extremely low temperature, often around -40°F (-40°C). When released from the pressurized container, the rapid expansion causes the gas to cool dramatically, which can lead to frostbite or freezing of exposed skin or equipment. This low temperature is one of the principal dangers of handling liquified petroleum gas, as it poses a significant risk of cold-related injuries. The other answer choices do not accurately describe a primary hazard of liquified petroleum gas.
