70% to pass

Your containership has a container displaying a hazardous cargo placard. The placard has the number 2206 on it. This indicates that it is carrying what cargo?

A Xylenol
B Isocyanates, n.o.s.
C Propadiene, inhibited
D Hexanols
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Isocyanates, n.o.s. The placard number 2206 indicates that the container is carrying a cargo classified as Isocyanates, n.o.s. (not otherwise specified) under the United Nations Hazardous Materials Identification System. This classification covers a variety of isocyanate compounds that have similar hazardous properties. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the placard number 2206. Xylenol (A), Propadiene, inhibited (C), and Hexanols (D) have different UN identification numbers and are not indicated by the placard number provided.
