Question 153Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passIndividuals who have consumed alcohol within 24 hours of exposure to hydrogen sulfide can tolerate _______________.
Aunusually large concentrations of hydrogen sulfide
Bsmaller than normal concentrations of hydrogen sulfide
Cmoderate concentrations of hydrogen sulfide without the usual reactions
Dlonger exposure to hydrogen sulfide concentrations
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) smaller than normal concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. Individuals who have consumed alcohol within 24 hours of exposure to hydrogen sulfide have a reduced tolerance to the gas. Alcohol impairs the body's ability to detect and respond to the presence of hydrogen sulfide, so smaller concentrations that would normally be tolerable become dangerous. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the reduced tolerance and increased sensitivity to hydrogen sulfide caused by recent alcohol consumption.
