In the health concerns at a hazardous-waste remediation site, what symptoms did residents report due to odors from soil treatment activities?

Enhanced visual acuity and better sleep
Headache, sore throat, lethargy, and burning eyes
Increased appetite and energy levels
None, as no symptoms were reported by the residents

The correct answer is: Enhanced visual acuity and better sleep

Residents reported headaches, sore throat, lethargy, and burning eyes due to odors from soil treatment activities at a hazardous-waste remediation site. This is unlike option A, where residents experienced enhanced visual acuity and better sleep, as these symptoms have not been reported in relation to odors at the site. Option C, increased appetite and energy levels, is also incorrect as residents did not report these symptoms. Additionally, option D, none, is incorrect as residents did report symptoms.
