Occupational and Environmental Health: Recognizing and Preventing Disease and Injury - Multiple Choice Questions - Learn & Prevent

Question: 1 / 400

What action was taken to assess the health impact of the hazardous-waste site on nearby residents?

DNA testing of all residents

The other options are incorrect because DNA testing and psychological evaluation do not specifically assess the health impact of the hazardous-waste site. Blood samples are more likely to provide accurate information about any presence of harmful volatile organic compounds, but this method still does not directly assess the health impact of the site. Collecting general health information through an online questionnaire may not provide enough data to accurately assess the impact either. DNA testing of all residents is the only option that directly assesses the health impact of the hazardous-waste site.
