What product is considered a noxious liquid substance for regulatory purposes?

A Dodecanol
B Trimethyl phosphite
C Sulfur (molten)
D Acetonitrile
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Dodecanol. Dodecanol, also known as lauryl alcohol, is considered a noxious liquid substance for regulatory purposes under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code). These regulations classify certain chemicals and substances based on their potential to harm the marine environment, and dodecanol is one of the substances that falls under the noxious liquid substance category. The other options (B, C, and D) are not considered noxious liquid substances for regulatory purposes, as they have different classifications or are not subject to the same regulations.
