Correct answer: A. L.D. converter gas
- A. L.D. converter gas
- B. Producer gas
- C. Blast furnace gas
- D. Coke oven gas
Explanation
L.D. converter gas is especially poisonous because it contains a very high concentration of carbon monoxide, which combines strongly with haemoglobin and prevents oxygen transport. Coke-oven, producer and blast-furnace gases can also contain CO, but generally at lower concentrations.
