Hazmat division 2.2 hazards are described as what?

• A. Flammable Gas
• B. Inhalation Hazards
• C. Nonflammable, Nonpoisonous compressed gas. like cryogens or asphyxiants
• D. Toxic Gas

Answer: (C)

Division 2.2 covers nonflammable, nonpoisonous compressed gases. These gases don’t ignite and aren’t toxic under normal exposure, but they can still pose serious hazards, especially by displacing oxygen in enclosed spaces or by being extremely cold as cryogens. Examples include nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and helium, and they can also include cryogenic liquids stored as gases. The other choices describe categories that don’t fit Division 2.2: a flammable gas belongs to a different group (flammable), a toxic or poisonous gas is in another division, and “inhalation hazards” isn’t the official classification label. So the best description for Hazmat Division 2.2 is nonflammable, nonpoisonous compressed gas.
