70% to passWhat term is listed on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to describe a chemical that can produce life-threatening or seriously disabling health hazards?
ARecommended toxicity
BHigh toxicity
CLow toxicity
DModerate toxicity
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) High toxicity. On a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), the term "high toxicity" is used to describe a chemical that can produce life-threatening or seriously disabling health hazards. This is in line with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, which is the standard used for MSDSs in the United States. The other answer choices are incorrect because "recommended toxicity" is not a standard term used on MSDSs, and "low toxicity" and "moderate toxicity" refer to less severe health hazards compared to "high toxicity."
