Types of nuclear safety precaution:

Air pollution causes considerable harm to human health. Based on your understanding of how air pollution affects people, which of the following examples is most likely to cause harm?A.Beta radiation is released from a radioactive element being processed in a facility near a town of 400.B.A neurotoxin is released in the production of chemicals at an industrial facility. The neurotoxin settles onto the ground in a nearby town. When people walk, they disturb the soil and it floats up and coats their skin.C.A carcinogen is released from gasoline while a car is being filled. The chemical forms a gas that is inhaled and travels deep into the lungs.D.A hormone is released into the environment in car exhaust, and then quickly reacts with components of the atmosphere to form a chemical that dissolves in rain and falls onto people as they walk through the rainstorm.
