& - Which of the following is an involuntary environmental risk? A woman develops cancer after working in a building filled with ° O asbestos. O A man goes swimming in water that is known to be contaminated. Patrick uses a toxic pesticide to get rid of aphids on his prized rose O bushes. O A building management company does not test its paint for lead. RATIONALE A woman developing cancer from asbestos exposure is an involuntary risk because the risk was caused by someone else's actions, not the woman's own actions. A building management company failing to test for lead, a man swimming in contaminated water, and Patrick using toxic pesticides are all examples of voluntary risks.

Electrolysis is a type of redox reaction. The electroloysis of sea water is one potential process for
production hydrogen gas used as a fuel. During the electrolysis of sea water, a secondary side reaction
is possible due to sufficient salt concentrations. In this reaction, aqueous sodium chloride undergoes a
redox reaction to produce sodium and chlorine gas.
