Which risk increases during early antimony bronze smelting?

💡 Explanation

Arsenic often contaminated early antimony ores; the direct reduction process releases arsine gas, therefore arsenic gas poisoning exposure increases, because volatilization occurs at smelting temperatures, rather than oxide defects or unusual melting characteristics.
