Question

1. all of the following are potential risks of leaving a small child unattended in a car, except:

a. hypothermia
b. carbon monoxide poisoning
c. car theft with child inside
d. lead poisoning

Explanation:

• Option A: Hypothermia can occur if a child is left in a car in cold conditions as the car's interior can get very cold, so this is a risk.
• Option B: If a car's exhaust system is faulty or the car is running in an enclosed space (like a garage, though even in open areas with idling, in some cases), carbon monoxide can enter the car, leading to poisoning. So this is a risk.
• Option C: A car with a child left unattended can be stolen, putting the child at risk. So this is a risk.
• Option D: Lead poisoning typically comes from exposure to lead - based paint, contaminated soil, or old plumbing, not from being left in a car. So this is not a risk of leaving a child unattended in a car.

Answer:

D. Lead poisoning
