Which risk increased after medieval tanneries dumped waste into Roman aqueduct channels repurposed for water supply?

💡 Explanation

When tanneries introduced waste, the biaccumulation of tanning agents increased heavy metal poisoning, because leather production employed toxic chemicals. Therefore, the risk of poisoning incidence increased, rather than strict enforcement, structural failures, or reduced flow which are consequence of different pollutants.
