question 13
which of the following is an involuntary environmental risk?
diana opens a business that is located close to a cement factory.
a man goes fishing in a lake known to be contaminated with mercury.
lauren uses paint with lead in it because she cannot find the right color in unleaded paint.
a dam breaks, flooding the business area of a small town.

Explanation:

Involuntary environmental risk is something that happens to people without their choice. Diana opening a business near a cement - factory, a man fishing in a contaminated lake, and Lauren using lead - paint are all choices they make. But a dam breaking and flooding a business area is an event that the people in the small town have no control over and is involuntary.

Answer:

A dam breaks, flooding the business area of a small town.
