Answer (2)

Liquid refrigerants can cause frostbite upon skin contact due to their extremely low temperatures. Although lacerations can occur indirectly, the primary concern is frostbite. Skin cancer is not directly caused by such contact. ;

The main concern when liquid refrigerants contact skin is frostbite, leading to severe cold-related injuries. While lacerations might occur due to reactions, they are not directly caused by refrigerants. Skin cancer is not a risk from immediate contact but can be a concern from long-term exposure.
