Which risk significantly increased during extensive Bronze Age axe production run?

💡 Explanation

Arsenical bronze production relied on inherently toxic arsenic compounds; repeated smelting and handling resulted in increasing arsenic trioxide inhalation, causing chronic arsenic poisoning because the ventilation systems and safety protocols were rudimentary. Consequently arsenical illness risk amplified, rather than alternative smelting errors.
