Which risk increases when smelting copper arsenide bronze?

💡 Explanation

Arsenic fumes released exhibit inherent toxicity because the increased vapor pressure of arsenic oxides results in high concentrations around smelting operations. Therefore, the risk increases of heavy metal health hazards rather than other metallurgical defects, because only hazardous vapors are guaranteed.
