← HistoryWhich risk increases when bloomery iron smelting lacks proper ventilation?
A)Increased carbon monoxide poisoning✓
B)Inefficient slag formation onset
C)Faster crucible failure from overheating
D)Reduced iron melting temperatures
💡 Explanation
Inadequate ventilation during bloomery iron smelting leads to incomplete combustion because of limited oxygen, resulting in increased carbon monoxide production via incomplete oxidation of the charcoal fuel; therefore, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases rather than altered slag formation.
