Rate of diffusion
Energy releasing capacity
Rate of deposition of the contaminant
All of these
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is D. All of these.
The effects of radioactive pollutants depend upon the rate of diffusion, energy releasing capacity, and rate of deposition of the contaminant.
- Rate of diffusion: The rate at which a radioactive pollutant diffuses through the environment will affect how quickly it can reach people and animals.
- Energy releasing capacity: The energy releasing capacity of a radioactive pollutant will affect how much damage it can do to living things.
- Rate of deposition of the contaminant: The rate at which a radioactive pollutant is deposited on the ground or in water will affect how much of it people and animals can be exposed to.
All of these factors need to be considered when assessing the risks of radioactive pollution.
